Perspectives

The “Perspectives Course” (formally called “Perspectives on the World Christian Movement”) was founded by missiologist Ralph Winter in the early 1970s. Since then it has become a leading course on missions and Christian discipleship that has touched the lives of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world. Perspectives continues to be studied in hundreds of places every year, many by small groups in local churches. It can be taken online or in a cohort.

Perspectives is a 15-week course, usually delivered in a one night per week class, that examines four main themes about the Christian movement:

• The Biblical foundation of God’s purposes revealed in the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.
• The Historical record, the story of the advance of the gospel from the time of Christ to the present,
• The Cultural realities we all face in taking the gospel to a new people and language, and
• The Strategic challenge of finishing the Great Commission Mandate of Jesus Christ.

Perspectives helps believers understand God’s plan to bring His redemptive message to every tribe, tongue, nation and people on earth. Perspectives is a course about God’s mission, but it more than that. It is a course about God, and His purposes for every believer, an intricate fabric woven into the story of history, God using His people to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth.

All Globe candidates must complete the Perspectives course.
Perspectives can be taken at a Certificate level, or for college credit.
