Life From God’s Perspectives
CURRICULUM: Life From God’s Perspectives
Life From God’s Perspectives is an attempt to address and solve barriers that keep many people from taking the traditional Perspectives course. LFGP attempts to connect students to their local churches and the mission opportunities there during the class in order that their passion and learning might have an immediate outlet. There are 3-4 hands-on real life projects during the course. These are designed to let the student engage in the learning at a practical level.
LFGP is designed for the average person in the church: one that may be intimidated by the academic nature of the Perspectives and is interested in just the ideas of the class, not in a certificate or credit. It expands the time needed for the course and cuts the course into bite-sized pieces that can be given 3-8 week modules. Time commitment for the student is reduced by using the key readings and short questions rather than quizzes. This format not only uses different methods of learning, but also incorporates speakers so that the passion they bring is not lost. However, since the number of speakers is smaller, class sizes can be smaller to accommodate small churches or small classes with smaller budgets.
A CD-ROM is available with a leader’s handbook and lesson plans in two formats: Version 4M (four modules) is the original. It is formatted for 2-2 1/2 hour class in 6,6,3, 4-week sets. The D version (Destiny) was for a church by that name that wanted to do it in 8 week Wednesday night session of 1 1/2 hours. The classes have been cut slightly, but the length of the modules are longer. Cultural and strategic ideas were put together as one module. The CD-ROM contains a 50-page student guidebook as a Microsoft Word document and a 60-page facilitator handbook, together with some cover pages and a brochure in Microsoft Publisher format. This curriculum is designed to be a supplement to the standard Perspectives reader or notebook.
We have seen successful life and church changes with this format. We
believe it to be an excellent additional resource for mobilizers looking
for another tool to mobilize churches and people. Please contact Ken &
Martha at [ksgateway@earthlink.net] if you are interested in purchasing
a copy of this CD-ROM for $25.]
PERSPECTIVES ON-LINE
http://www.icm-international.orgPerspectives On-Line, is a joint project between International Christian Ministries and the US Centre for World Mission that makes the highly effective mission awareness course Perspectives on the World Christian Movement available on-line. The on-line course can be taken for non-credit (certificate) or for BA and graduate credit. The best option is always to take advantage of a course being offered in your area since local courses offer the advantage of live teaching and interaction with other participants. But if a course isn’t available in your area (and especially if you live in North America) then this on-line option may be worth considering. For more information go to the web site above, click on Perspectives Course and then on Perspectives Online. You must be able to connect to the Internet to participate in the course, of course.
