Movements That Change the World
Jesus founded a missionary movement and calls us to participate in a movement that proclaims the gospel, makes disciples and multiplies communities of faith throughout the world. Dynamic movements display five recurring characteristics: white-hot faith, commitment to a cause, contagious relationships, rapid mobilization and adaptive methods. This course will provide an understanding of the dynamics of dynamic missionary movements. Participants will identify key characteristics of dynamic missionary movements from biblical, historical, and contemporary case studies and apply them to their contexts.
