MIS1022/3 Introduction to Missions

Welcome to this research guide for Introduction to Missions. This guide will help you find resources that you can use for your course project and CRA paper.

The orientation of Introduction to Missions is both biblical and contemporary. The course takes an international approach to missions. This approach is supported by the strong biblical view and treatment of missions in the course. The Bible's teaching on missions is outlined through the use of both the Old and New Testaments. Two missions themes, international and biblical, are treated throughout the course: those of the redemptive people of God and Christ's strategy of missions. Christ's Great Commission is presented as an authoritative model for a strategy of missions today. The course is designed to be of practical use in the life and ministry of the student. The missions principles and teachings from the Bible are focused on contemporary issues in order to assist the student in (1) responding personally to missions, (2) teaching others about missions, and (3) solving current missions-related problems in his own country.

Global University does not necessarily agree with all the views represented in the resources in this guide. These are provided for the student to contrast and compare with the Biblical text and ideas presented in the Global University IST.
