“I am delighted to recommend The Lilias Trotter Center. Wesley Biblical Seminary has formed a mutually beneficial partnership with LTC that has advanced the Kingdom of God.
Our students have been challenged and enriched by the course on Islamic Foundations. I have been impressed with the LTC staff’s knowledge of Islam, with their balanced approach to their topic, with their love for and desire to reach Muslims, and with their ability to communicate their passion to others. Their ministry is characterized by academic rigor and attainment. They also have the expertise and wisdom of the successful practitioner. Their lives radiate the love of Christ and evidence a firm commitment to a ministry of discipling new believers.”
