Forty years ago Ralph Winter gathered a small number of Urbana Mission Conference students at Wheaton College. Today it’s grown into a thriving movement with over 180,000 Perspectives alumni in the US and over 40,000 globally [and] now averaging over 8,000 new students in the US each year.
As many as 34,000 have begun to serve cross culturally and internationally as a direct result of taking the Perspectives course. Many more have been awakened to intercede and give to the work of God’s mission or have adjusted their lifestyles to welcome and reach out to internationals at home. God, through the Perspectives course, has created a vast “fertile soil” from which he draws his people to join the work he is accomplishing among all peoples.

» Note that the next few Perspectives online courses start May 4, July 6, and August 17. Perspectives intensive courses are planned for California (June), Texas (July), and Pennsylvania (August). A Perspectives national conference will be held in July 2016. We’ll add all those to the Missions Catalyst events calendar.
