COURSE SYLLABUS

Welcome!

We believe the first step toward making a global difference is knowing. Through Global Missions 101 you will learn about the current state of the world, the challenges facing the Church today, and how you can become an active participant in God’s mission!

This course aims to enlighten minds and enliven passions for the cause of global missions. Students will understand not only God’s global plan etched from beginning to end in the Bible, but their personal, immediate, strategic, effective, and measurable part in that plan.
