Columbia International Universtiy 7435 Monticello Road Columbia, South Carolina 29203 Voulme 74 President- Dr. Bill Jones A Letter From the V reside nt Dear Class of 2013, The time has come to ‘make your mark" on the world. As graduates of Columbia International University, you will venture into the marketplace, the mission field or local church ministry prepared to impact the nations with the message of Christ, Sitting under faithful men and women who taught you the eternal Word of God prepared you to enter the world for this purpose. Together we have been fulfilling the command Paul gave Timothy: "And the things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also" (2 Timothy 2:2) I trust the challenge from our year verse, Mark 5:19, will provide the inspiration that carries you from CIU as you "go home to your people and report to them." Our Lord gives us the opportunity to make an impact on those at home and around the world for we are to tell them "what great things the Lord has done . . ." Although we are sad to see you go, it thrills us to see you enter the ministry to which God has led you. As you go, remember the words of Paul to Timothy, "teach others also" Let's impact the world together.
