Second Wind Network

Really interesting and informative website called Second Wind Network
"Somewhere in our 40's or 50's we catch our second wind and want to do something more significant with the "second half" of our lives. Second Wind Network is here to help you make that move. Anybody who wants to make this change, whether in their 40's or looking at what to do in retirement, or somewhere in between, is welcomed by Second Wind Network.
Our hope is that you will catch your second wind and use it significantly for the extension of God's kingdom. "

PERSPECTIVES ON THE WORLD CHRISTIAN MOVEMENT

Perspectives on the World Christian Movement is a life-changing two-part course designed to give Christians a unique opportunity to investigate the work of God around the world, through history and to consider their role in His purposes.
Developed by Dr Ralph Winter, Steve Hawthorne and other staff of the U.S. Centre for World Mission in Pasadena, California, Perspectives surveys background, development and potential of Christianity as an international social movement. It does so in four main sections:

Biblical: God's unchanging purposes for the nations
Historical: The expansion of the Christian movement
Cultural: Communicating the gospel cross-culturally
Strategic: Means for completing the Great Commission

The purpose of the Perspectives course is to help participants develop a clearer perspective of God's global mission in the world so as to enable them to make informed decisions about their strategic participation with Him in this. The course is intended to confront participants with the personal challenge of how they can contribute to fulfilling the Great Commission.

"The on-going work of evangelising the world, especially the unreached people groups where there are presently no churches or witnesses, is a primary responsibility of Christians everywhere. There is no other course of which I know that will inform, inspire and motivate Christians for world evangelisation......it will stretch your mind, warm your heart and stir your will" (Dr Billy Graham.)
