The Bain's story
God has graciously led Mike and Lesley Bain to serve through Perspectives USA in Pasadena, California with their passion to mobilize the Church to God’s strategic plan.
Mike serves Perspectives as the Chief Operating Officer and Lesley serves as HR Director as well and also serves the local missional community. Their family strategically works to the end that every tongue, tribe, and people group (ethne) knows of Christ Jesus and every Christ follower lives to serve HIM as a goer, sender, prayer, mobilizer and/or welcomer to further HIS glory. The Bain family were long time McKinney residents and First McKinney members before being called to the field.
WHAT IS PERSPECTIVES
Perspectives is a fifteen-lesson education course exploring different aspects of God’s global purpose in a multi-faceted learning experience. The course examines the story of God fulfilling His promises from four vantage points or “perspectives” — Biblical, Historical, Cultural, and Strategic.
The Biblical and Historical sections establish the foundation of our confidence in the historic fact of God’s persistent work to make His name known to the nations from the dawn of history until today.
The Cultural and Strategic sections highlight that we are in the midst of a costly but very “do-able” task. These sections confirm the Biblical and Historical hope we have with the invitation to co labor with God in His mission.
Perspectives is an awe-inspiring comprehensive course that has profoundly impacted hundreds of thousands of students during the past 45+ years. From Genesis to the prophets, Jesus to the early Church, and St. Augustine to the present, students learn how God moves, how the global Church responds, and the remaining task of world evangelization.
Perspectives isn’t a course solely about world missions. It’s a study program rooted in Scripture clarifying each believer’s remarkable opportunity to co-labor with God in His global purpose.
You have an integral role to play in God’s story. He delights when His people respond to His invitation to be a blessing to all the peoples of the earth.
Experience God’s heart for the nations and encounter the momentum of the World Christian movement through Perspectives.
