PERSPECTIVES BIBLE COURSE (A LOOK AT MISSIONS FROM A BIBLICAL, HISTORICAL, CULTURAL & STRATEGIC PERSPECTIVE)

YOU HAVE AN EPIC ROLE TO PLAY

Get threaded into the biggest story of all time. Join thousands of believers this Spring and experience God’s heart for all peoples and encounter the momentum of the World Christian Movement. Perspectives brings fresh knowledge and understanding of God’s unchanging purposes and why they’re relevant to your life.

WHY PERSPECTIVES?

God has a "world-sized" role for every Christian in His global purpose. Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose. Discovering that vision makes this course valuable, and perhaps crucial, for any Christian.

WHAT IS PERSPECTIVES?

Perspectives is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or "perspectives" — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God's global purpose.

The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God's relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.

The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very "do-able" task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

WHO SHOULD TAKE PERSPECTIVES?

The short answer is anyone who wants a closer walk with the Lord, who is serious about gaining a deeper understanding of His ultimate purpose in the world. It's for anyone who wants to learn how to strategically invest their lives in seeing God glorified; for anyone who wants to gain insight and direction that will help them to impact their generation.

If the above describes you, no matter what your age or position, Perspectives is for you!
