PERSPECTIVES
Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic course where you'll discover what God is doing around the world and consider your part in His purposes.
Perspectives will help you understand God's plan for our world—and for your life - as you explore the following topics:
- Biblical - God's unchanging purpose for the nations
- Historical - Expansion and pioneers of the Christian Movement
- Strategic - What are "unreached people groups" and why are they so important to complete God's eternal purpose?
- Cultural - The Gospel and cross-cultural communication
Perspectives is offered throughout the year at extension sites around the world. Over 60,000 people have taken this course in North America alone, with over 12,000 former students in New Zealand, Australia, the Philippines, and other countries. Perspectives is also available in Spanish and Korean, and other translations are in progress.
In the United States, Perspectives is taught by professors, missionaries and teachers who have seen God at work all over the world. Instructors include people like Don Richardson (missionary to the Sawi people and author of Peace Child), David Bryant (author of In the Gap, former mission specialist for InterVarsity, now Chairman of Concerts of Prayer International), and Ralph Winter (missionary to Guatemala and visionary founder of the US Centre for World Mission). In the UK you can take the course on-line at certificate, under-graduate or graduate level.
The online class allows you to access course information, essay questions, and exams through the web. Special assignments are turned in through e-mail or by uploading on our special course site. The certificate level costs $150 (approx: £85) and can be started when it suits you! The course has to be completed one year from when you begin and if one lesson was achieved each week, you could finish it in 15 weeks!
Historymakers and AsiaLink highly recommend this course for anyone wanting to be involved in missions full-time.
