World Christain Foundations - Most mission agencies require a "Year-of-Bible" before sending a missionary to the field. The U.S. Center for World Mission has created the World Christian Foundations curriculum as a "re-engineering" of that, allowing the candidate to get the proper training both before entering the mission field and while serving on it. Learn more about getting a BA or an MA by using this study program made by the creators of the Perspectives Study Program.
