Mission Endorsements

Perspectives gives people an opportunity to be exposed to the faith stretching challenge of world missions from the first hand experience of those God is using on the field.  I heartily endorse this effort.
Bill Bright, Late founder of Campus Crusade for Christ

For many Christians, Christianity is like a puzzle spilled out on the floor. Perspectives puts it all together by showing us the box top and helps us understand how missions is at the very heart of God. It not only changed my music and my ministry, but the very way I live.
Scott Wesley Brown, Recording Artist; Founder & President, I CARE Ministries

Not only does this course open your eyes to the magnificence of the Christian mission but, more importantly, it introduces you to the supremacy of the Christ for whom the mission exists.

It is the most important single training anyone should get before going to the field! We had to train our colleagues on the field because they had never been exposed to Perspectives!

Take Perspectives-it'll ruin you for the ordinary!
Floyd McClung, International Director of All Nations Training Center

This course is dramatically life changing and eye opening!  As I took Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, I found myself falling deeper in love with our Savior and invigorated for service.  "Perspectives" has given the church of Jesus a common vocabulary and united vision for finishing the Great Commission at home and abroad!  This is a crucial course for every Christian to take in order to know Jesus' message and His method's in Kingdom expansion today!

Perspectives is absolutely essential for anyone interested in missions!
George Verwer - Founder, Operation Mobilization

I highly endorse the Perspectives Course, and not just because this material enhanced my own understanding of God's heart and plan for His world.  Due to its indepth study in the biblical theology of mission, I know of no other program that can more radically and fundamentally change a church's inward focus into a missions-driven focus, resulting in scores of people mobilized into missions and prayer for missions.  In my opinion, Perspectives should be mandatory for every pastor and everyone planning to go into ministry.  In fact, it's great for every church member everywhere.
Jeffrey S. Johnston - Communications Director, Asian Access

Perspectives is a glorious guide to us - our Savior's church.  It enables us to step back and see the nations the way God sees them.  Our heartbeat and passion at CrossWorld is to proclaim Christ out of the context of worship.  Perspectives does just that!  We applaud this empowering course that is helping to thrust the church into a modern day missions movement.
Dr D. James O'Neill - President, CrossWorld

The Perspectives course succeeds in communicating that God has always had a plan for the world, that He is carrying out that plan, and that He invites us to have a part in what He is doing.  Many people looking to see where they fit into God's plan find the Perspectives course to be an eye-opener. whether they are involved in their local church or helping to build God's Kingdom among the least reached.
John Bush - Director of Specialty Mobilization, Wycliffe Bible Translators

Perspectives is a dynamic, engaging and thorough look at the state of world evangelization today.  For any person who wonders where they may fit into God's plan for reaching the unreached, taking this course will give them insight to God's heart for the world and how they can and should get involved.
Scott Graves - Director of Recruitment, Pioneer Bible Translators

Perspectives has been and is an incredible tool in God's hand in stimulating missions passion, in preparing and equipping workers for service, and in being a catalyst for interchurch and mission collaboration for the kingdom task.  We all are blessed by what Perspectives is doing for God's glory in the nations.

Andrew Scott - Vice President of Mobilization, Operation Mobilization

I have been involved with Perspectives in America and in Africa.  I know of no other overview of missions that is as thorough and stimulating.  It is well worth the time for any person interested in missions or serious about missions.

Perspectives is the best lay missions education available.  I have heard missionaries and I have heard missions pastors say, "I never really understood missions until I took Perspectives."
David Mays - ACMC

Without a doubt, nothing has had more profound effect in missions in the last 25 years than the Perspectives course.  Participants learn so much, from the way they view the Bible to the way they view the world.  It's a life-changer.  If I was in charge, every single person who goes on a mission trip of any length would take the Perspectives Course prior to going.
