Mission Perspectives Classes are Starting Up Again

As usual, Dr. Ralph Winter found a succinct way to challenge readers in this latest issue of Mission Frontiers. "Are you Finding your way into God's highest call for You?" His editorial comments are usually the first thing I read in every issue, not because I assimilate everything he says, but because he makes me think-hard. He has a heart to reach the next missionary task force of this generation and regularly gives practical steps for involvement and mobalization.

One of which is the Perspectives course in World Missions. Yes, that's right, it's the beginning of the semester and Perspectives courses are starting up all the over the country. You can find out if there is a local mission Perspectives course in your area by checking here.

Let's see, how many years have I been working on Perspectives on my own? Too many, but I've loved every hour spent in study. Several years back I purchased the study materials and tried to go through the whole course on my own. And I almost made it, but last year I decided to sign up for the online version of the course in order to get feedback on my assignments. My sister, meanwhile, attending nursing school in Lubbock, TX, was blessed to attend a live Perspectives course last semester, where they flew in different mission speakers every week to discuss the study topics. She encouraged me if I ever had the opportunity to attend a live class, to go for it.

I'm excited, because this semester there is a course somewhat close and God willing, I'll be able to drive to the once a week class. The LORD has so abundantly been working in my heart as I've gone through this course even on my own, growing my faith and stretching my prayer life. I hope you'll prayerfully consider looking into one locally, and if you end up attending somewhere, drop me a note. May the Lord bless you today ~Christie
