Praise God for your desire to serve
Him in advancing His Kingdom through the ministry of Houston
Perspectives, which is a year-round ministry. We have been praying
and planning for future Perspectives classes in the Houston area and
will announce them when they are confirmed. There are many
opportunities to become involved with low-level to high-level
commitments. The initial area to prepare for in planning for a class
is the "big five" (prayer plan, course outline, syllabus, budget,
and promotional plan). Please check our website for updates: www.houstonperspectives.org.
It is essential to have some organization
(usually a church) committed to promoting and taking ownership of
the class. There needs to be a ministry team effort and a sharing of
responsibilities and duties among the Program Coordinator,
Perspectives alum, and host personnel. That's where you (almost
Perspectives alum) come in! Remember: Perspectives alum can attend
all future Perspectives classes for FREE across the nation.
