Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. God has a “world-sized” role for every Christian in His global purpose.Whether people go to distant countries or stay at home is a secondary issue. The primary issue is what most people are hungry to discover: vision to live a life of purpose. Discovering that vision makes this course valuable, and perhaps crucial, for any Christian.
What is “Perspectives”?
Perspectives On The World Christian Movement is a fifteen week course designed around four vantage points or “perspectives” — Biblical, Historical, Cultural and Strategic. Each one highlights different aspects of God’s global purpose.
The Biblical and Historical sections reveal why our confidence is based on the historic fact of God’s relentless work from the dawn of history until this day.
The Cultural and Strategic sections underscore that we are in the midst of a costly, but very “do-able” task, confirming the Biblical and Historical hope.

Missions Frontiers article by author Rick Wood.
I came across this article from the Current issue of Missions Frontiers-July-August 2020 by author Rick Wood on the topic of Missions in the age of the coronavirus. It caught my attention as I continue to read about how the virus is changing our lives in some dramatic ways and how the Church is doing missions in new ways.
A quote from the current issue of Missions Frontiers-July-August 2020
Missions in the age of the Coronavirus.
In this issue we observe how COVID-19 is leaving its impact on outreaches across the globe. As this virus is changing our lives in dramatic ways, it is also changing the way we go about doing missions—which is what this issue is all about. How do we reach people and make disciples while wearing masks and practicing social distancing? We take a fascinating look at how the Church has responded to pandemics throughout history and review ways that we can respond biblically as Christ followers. We take you on a journey to see how some movements around the world are using the pandemic to reach people for Jesus. You will be called to action when you read how God’s people move directly into suffering—despite the circumstances surrounding them. You don’t want to miss this issue!
Jesus’s last words: Jesus’s last words:
16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
A good reason to “Go”
You are special and unique. No one else like you!
“The Lord created each of us individually with different Spiritual Gifts, Passions, Abilities, strengths and a unique personality with different experiences. I’m sure or hope that as we get nearer to the end of our lives…whenever that is…that we would like to finish our lives well and leave a legacy that gives glory to the LORD so when we stand before Him one day, we will hear, “Well done, my good and faithful servant.”
We can’t all GO physically maybe at this time…but here is a way we can start now.
What part will you play?
Won’t it be great to hear “Well done good and faithful servant…” when we stand before the Lord?
