The Perspectives on the World Christian Movement® course was initially developed in 1974 as a follow up to the Urbana mission conference for U.S. college students expressing a commitment to global mission. Dr. Ralph Winter, founder of the U.S. Center for World Mission (now Frontier Ventures) garnered missiologists, theologians, anthropologists, and practitioners to contribute to a course of study to inform students of the biblical, historical, cultural, and strategic aspects of mission. Winter often expressed, “God cannot lead you on the basis of facts that you do not know.”
