Lesson 13 Instructor: Jose Martinez
Lesson 13: The Spontaneous Multiplication of Churches
A look beyond institutional features of churches to understand churches as dynamic movements of Christ Himself being followed. Such a view of churches as organic, living things opens up the practicality of seeing them multiply rapidly as movements and also flourish in society bearing the fruit of social transformation. Churches as counter-communities, acting as salt and light, bringing change to their cultures. How movements multiply by connecting with entire families and larger social structures.

Lesson 11 Instructor: "Marsha"
Lesson 11: Building Bridges of Love
The incarnation is a model of missionary humility. How do missionaries enter appropriate roles in order to form relationships of trust and respect to develop a sense of belonging? They must communicate with credibility for understanding. We explores the intricacy of identification in another culture. We explored the even greater complexity of presenting identity with integrity in a globalized, terrorized, pluralized world.

Lesson 10 Instructor: "Lewis"
Lesson 10: How Shall They Hear
Culture and intercultural communication of the gospel. Communicating the gospel with relevance at the worldview level helps avoid syncretism (blending of cultural error with God’s truth) and also enables powerful movements of the gospel. Sensitive missionaries will look for ways that God has preserved or prepared people to hear the gospel, often finding redemptive analogies for God's truth

Lesson 9 Instructor: Roger Peterson
Lesson 9: The Task Remaining
During the last three lessons we’ve watched as God pressed His purpose forward until the present day and age. Right now, we are at an unprecedented time of opportunity.

Reading the writings of William Carey and other leaders to discern what these people have left to us. Exploring the contribution of women in missions throughout the centuries.

Lesson 7 Instructor: Jeff Lewis
Lesson 7: Eras of Mission History
The greatest explosion of growth ever has taken place in last 200 years in three "bursts" of activity. We could be in the final era of missions. Interestingly, the global harvest force is increasingly comprised of non-Western missionaries. All true Christians can set their hearts on finishing what God has begun. They are the ones who come to experience the expansiveness of God; who is the Beginning and the End of all that lasts. It should be no surprise that these finishers are actually the ones who begin the things that matter. They understand the task, and they are starters. They order their steps with strategic simplicity, not hesitating, nor hurrying, but tenaciously continuing to do whatever it takes to finish the task that God has given them.

Lesson 5 Instructor: Steve Hawthorne (a little bit of everywhere - 80+ nations)
Lesson 5 Recap: Unleashing the Gospel - The first followers of Jesus were obedient in costly, yet foundational ways. The climactic action in the book of Acts is the freeing of the gospel to be followed by Gentiles without Jewish traditions as a requirement. A foundational act of God which speaks to the situations where the gospel is hindered today. Strategic suffering and apostolic passion.

Lesson 2 Recap: The Story of His Glory - God's ultimate passion is to see His glory spread to all people and to receive worship from all people. The Story above all stories is the story of His glory! The Bible is not a collection of unrelated stories, but it's one story with many sub-stories. We talked about how passion should shape our skills, interests, and personal passions.
