PERSPECTIVES
STUDY PROGRAM
Begins Sept. 9th 2009
Do you know what God is doing in the
new millennium?
("Perspectives is absolutely essential for anyone interested in missions!") GEORGE VERWER, Operation MobilizationWhat is Perspectives?
Perspectives Study Program on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic 15-week discipleship course taught by a variety of veteran missionaries, influential strategists and professors, each an expert in their respective area.
Discover what God is doing around the world and consider your part in His purposes. Perspectives Study Program will help you understand God’s plan for our world – and possibly for your life – as you explore the following topics:
It is Biblical What does God’s Word reveal about His plan?
Discover God’s often overlooked yet unchanging purpose as it’s revealed from Genesis to Revelation.
It is Historical How has God been working throughout history?
You’ll be challenged and encouraged as you learn about the unlikely people and surprising events God has used throughout history in the spread of the Gospel.
It is Cultural How does culture fit in God’s global plan?
Do missionaries destroy or enhance cultures when they plant churches? Learn the keys for communicating the Gospel to people with different world views and cultures.
It is Strategic What role could you and your church play?
What are ‘unreached people groups’ and why are they so important in the completion of God’s eternal purpose?
Perspectives Study Program is for…
… You!
