Mission Awareness
You will need to demonstrate significant prior mission
experience or attend a full or
part time course through a theological college over
a minimum of
12 weeks.
Servants recommends
"Perspectives", a course being taught in Bible Schools,
Seminaries, and churches around the world. You can also take it
online. The course covers Biblical, historical, cultural, and
strategic perspectives on missions.
Over 60,000 people have taken
this course in the U.S. alone, with 12,000 alumni in New Zealand
and other countries. The Perspectives Study Program is
also available in Spanish and Korean, and other translations are
in progress.
Undergraduate and
graduate credit for the course is offered through 40
cooperating institutions. The course is also offered by
correspondence. With over 600 instructors at over 150
locations annually, 6,000 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 founder of the USCWM).
