The subject matter of this course overlaps with the well-known "Perspectives on the World Christian Movement" course, developed by Dr. Ralph Winter of the US Center for World Mission. This class has been conducted in hundreds of locations and has prepared and mobilized thousands of Christians to participate in God's global plan.
Text and Readings
"PathLight Towards Global Awareness", edited by Meg Crossman, is the newly-published textbook for the course. The book consists of essays by mission leaders and teachers. Supplementary readings on current issues facing the church will also be used.
A Unique Learning Opportunity
Exploring God's Heart for the Nations is a unique setting in which the participants learn from several outside speakers. These presenters are chosen based not only on their global experience and knowledge, but their ability to connect with the class as they share. There are cross-cultural learning experiences accompanying the class which deepen the impact for the student.
"Exploring God's Heart for the Nations" consists of 10 lessons which are grouped into five subjects.
- Biblical: What is God's global plan as revealed in scripture, and what parts are his people called to play?
- Historical: How have God's people responded through the centuries to his calling to share his message with all peoples?
- Strategic: What has been learned about reaching people groups and serving the needs of humanity?
- Cultural: How should a society's culture be taken into account as the good news is proclaimed?
- Partnership: What opportunities exist in the student's local area to be involved in cross-cultural service and outreach?
