Perspectives Class
Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a dynamic course that helps students discover what God is doing around the world and ways to become a part in His purposes. 

Perspectives will help you understand God's plan for our world—and 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 to complete God's eternal purpose? 
Cultural - The Gospel and cross-cultural communication 

Perspectives is offered throughout the year at extension sites around the world. Several Mission Society staff and missionaries teach sessions of Perspectives around the country. More than 72,000 people have taken this course around the world. Perspectives is also available in Spanish and Korean, and other translations are in progress.

Undergraduate and graduate credit is available through  schools such as Trinity International University and other cooperating institutions. Perspectives is also offered online and by correspondence. In addition, more than 100 schools use the Perspectives Reader in their missions courses.

With over 600 instructors and more than 150 locations annually, over 6,000 people are exposed to some of the most innovative missions minds each year. The professors, missionaries, and teachers who teach Perspectives have seen God at work all over the world. Instructors include 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).
