Muslim Awareness Seminars
Each year CMM team members conduct two- or three-day seminars in churches and Bible schools, both stateside and overseas. These sessions use a practical approach to help Christians understand Muslims and reach out in love to those living in their communities.
A recent Muslim Awareness Seminar was held at First Assembly in Ft. Myers, Florida. Here is what Dan Betzer, the pastor, said:
As pastor of a strong missionary-minded church, I was eager to host the Muslim Awareness Seminar here. I cannot tell you what a powerful impact it had on the large crowd that attended. Not only did we receive vital information about this worldwide religion, but we were also taught how to effectively minister to Muslims and how to intercede.
I believe the Muslim Awareness Seminar is one of the most vital presentations ever made at First Assembly.
If you would like more information or desire to schedule a seminar in your church, please contact the CMM office by post or by e-mail. See contact address below.
Training Seminars and Bloc Bible College Courses
CMM team members are also involved in in-depth training for career pastors and missionaries. Besides teaching bloc sessions at various Bible colleges around the world, CMM conducts institutes each year in the following locations:
Institute of Islamic Studies (IIS) at Asia Pacific Theological Seminary (APTS) in Baguio, Philippines.
This 8-week course is taught by outstanding specialists in ministry to Muslims from April through June. It is sponsored jointly by APTS and CMM, in cooperation with the Assemblies of God Asian Missions Association (AGAMA).
Students who have participated in this course have been impacted in a powerful way and many are now ministering full-time among Muslims.

IIS is a character-changing institute. If one has the charisma to preach to Muslims but the character is questionable, it will be a catastrophe. IIS teaches my head more information, my heart to love Muslims, and my hands to apply what I have learned. I have been totally touched through this course and I believe that the touch is for the task.![]()
John's testimony was one of great encouragement to those who taught the classes. He said,
It is as if God has plucked me out of the middle of the desert and placed me in a garden where I have been watered and pruned. It has been a time of quietness and stillness where God could truly speak to me to do His work. It has been a time of encouragement, learning, growing, loving and preparation to be a servant of God to my Muslim friends.![]()
