I considered "missions" to be one of the strengths of my ministry. Completing the Perspectives Class (with my wife!) gave me significant new insights and took my simplistic understanding of mission to a much deeper level.
Rev. Michael Gehrling, Organizing Co-Pastor, The Upper Room New Church Development
"Taking Perspectives was one of the greatest things that happened to my ministry. The course exposed me to what the living Christ is doing in the world, and helped me to see my ministry within a global context. I can think of no greater thing to say about Perspectives than that taking it made me want to serve Christ more faithfully in the world."
Don Dawson, Director of World Mission Initiative and the New Wilmington Mission Conference
"For God so loved the world that He sent his only Son..." Perspectives on the World Christian Movement will help you to understand this truth more fully and to live your life in response to it.
Rev Tom Hall, Senior Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Pittsburgh
I highly recommend the Leaders? Intensive Version of ?Perspectives? offered by World Mission Initiative. As a Perspectives graduate and veteran of two WMI-sponsored overseas mission trips, I know this is an opportunity to learn about Christian missions from the very best in the field. This course will broaden your own mission perspective and help sharpen the focus of your church?s mission efforts.
David Dawson., Executive Presbyter, Shenango Presbytery
A prominent missiologist has said, ?No minister is prepared to be a pastor of any church in America unless he/she is knowledgeable about the church of the Global South.? I agree and would suggest that the fastest and most theologically sound way to be so informed is through the Perspectives course. There is nothing else like it. I encourage every pastor to take Perspectives, especially when there is a one-week option like the one this summer.
