Perspectives Study Program™
Perspectives
on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic course where you'll get
an opportunity to 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 possibly 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 in the completion of God's eternal purpose?
• Cultural - The Gospel and cross-cultural communication
Perspectives
is offered throughout the year at some Regional Centers for World Mission
and other extension sites around the world. Over 30,000 people have taken
this course in the U.S. alone, with 2000 graduates in New Zealand and
other countries. The course is also available in Spanish.
Undergraduate
and graduate credit for the course is offered through various institutions
such as Trinity International University, Hope International University
and other cooperating institutions. The course is also offered by correspondence.
In addition, over 100 schools use the Perspectives Reader in their missions
courses (over 100,000 in print).
With 600
professors at over 75 locations annually, 2000 students are exposed to
some of the most innovative missions minds each year. The course is taught
by professors who have seen God at work all over the world - 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 USCWM).
A survey of Perspectives class alumni indicated:
- 73% of 20,000 alumni are praying regularly for missions
- 88% support missions financially
- 29% serve on a church missions committee
- 66% plan
on long term service (2 years or more) in cross-cultural missions

"Evangelizing
the world - especially unreached people groups - is a primary responsibility
of Christians everywhere.
Nothing I know of will inform and motivate Christians for world evangelization
like Perspectives!"
