TechnoratiSome of the current global issues the course deals with include the anti-slavery movement, poverty, abortion, and the treatment of women.
“If they can see and understand what God is trying to accomplish and that He is proactively moving, then their whole life direction can be guided by those principles,” Lewis noted.
In comparison to Perspectives, the older and better known course developed by Winter, Insight is more academically rigorous. Insight students have the option of taking the one-year intensive program for 36 transferrable credit units from Trinity International University, while Perspectives is only a three credit course.
Also, while Perspectives focuses on “engaging people’s hearts and calling people to be missionaries,” Insight seeks to give people a solid academic understanding so they can challenge the current secular worldview.
Lewis hopes that mission agencies will soon sponsor Insight as part of their internship program where students who come for two years could serve while studying Insight simultaneously.
Currently, administrators of Insight are working to set up more locations for the program. Some locations that already offer Insight include the U.S. Center for World Mission Campus in Pasadena, Calif.; The Bethlehem Institute in Minneapolis; and Stony Glen Campus in Madison, Ohio.
