This module lays out the principals, the history and the practical application of churches engaging globally.
In this module you will work through from the Bible why it is essential for a church that reflects God's character to engage with his global mission. Having laid this foundation the module will then take you through how churches have done this in the past, the present shape of 'world missions' before taking you through how you might engage with what God is doing throughout the world.
