Perspectives on the World Christian Movement

In less than 60 days from now a revolution will begin across the U.S. An epidemic of gargantuan proportions will be unleashed across our land. It will be a grass-roots, word-of-mouth outbreak infecting tens of thousands of people.



Beginning in mid January in 170+ locations around the country, thousands of churches and hundreds of campus ministries will team up with the objective of raising up World Changers!

Dr. Ralph Winter

Missiologist Ralph Winter passed away on Wednesday. Dr. Winter was known as an enterprising visionary who began the US Center for World Mission, a campus of sending agencies in Pasadena, California. The Center produces many valuable resources including Mission Frontiers magazine and the International Journal of Frontier Missions. Dr. Winter frequently contributed his insights to both publications, posing great questions for the mission community to answer with their actions. He also started the Perspectives course, an intensive training program that has mobilized many for missions worldwide.

Like OM founder George Verwer, Dr. Winter has always had a heart for mobilization. He often compared the cause of world evangelization to a burning building. Dr. Winter would ask, "which would you rather do -- pour a bucket of water on the fire, or wake up 100 sleeping firemen?" He knew how to wake up firemen. He knew how to mentor and challenge and motivate believers to become global disciple-makers. The kingdom is richer for his life, both here and in eternity.
