K. W. Moore
Frontiers, Puyallup WA
After graduating high school in Puyallup, WA, I spent a few years as a missionary with YWAM. During that time, my heart began to expand for church planting, and over ten years later through Perspectives God would bring about more vision and clarity to this desire. I'm currently involved with an organization who is committed to sending workers into unengaged Muslim people groups. In tandem with reaching unreached and unengaged Muslims, teaching and studying the Scriptures are a great passion of mine. b

God's pressed His purpose forward until the present hour of amazing opportunity. Understanding the concept of "unreached peoples" to assess the remaining task.

Lesson 10
How Shall They Hear?
Culture and intercultural communication of the gospel. Communicating the gospel with relevance at the worldview level helps avoid syncretism (blending of cultural error with God?s truth) and also enables powerful movements of the gospel. Sensitive missionaries will look for ways that God has preserved or prepared people to hear the gospel, often finding redemptive analogies for God's truth.

Karen Pease
Better English in Tacoma, Tacoma WA
I have been "multi-cultural" for most of my life - from my upbringing in the CA Bay Area to my college major (Intercultural Studies), which took me to China to serve as an English teacher for 6+ years before returning to the States. Since then, God has opened up doors for ESL & Discovery Bible Study ministries to the people groups in our community, including Muslims. He is also giving me opportunities to mobilize & equip individual believers, churches, and non profits to reach beyond their comfort zones to befriend and share the love of Christ with everyone - no matter how "different" they seem. b

Lesson 13
The Spontaneous Multiplication of Churches
Look beyond institutional features of churches to understand churches as dynamic movements of Christ Himself being followed. Such a view of churches as organic, living things opens up the practicality of seeing them multiply rapidly as movements and also flourish in society bearing the fruit of social transformation. Churches as counter-communities, acting as salt and light, bringing change to their cultures. How movements multiply by connecting with entire families and larger social structures.

Edward Aw
Tsunami Unleashed, Gilbert AZ
Ed and Rachel have two teenage sons and live in Arizona.
Their ministry, Tsunami Unleashed, focuses on helping bring clarity to believers on how to live purpose "full" lives for Jesus. In addition, they provide a simple path to exponential discipleship, leadership, and church reproduction.
Currently, the Lord has them building Tsunami Unleashed. The vision is to see 1 billion people across the global mobilized, equipped and impacted for Jesus. This will leverage the technological infrastructure that exists (everything internet) in an effective way that draws people from the cold medium of the web into hot relationship with believers (in-person) and Jesus.
It will require an open-handed approach to all interactions and resources. They don't care who gets credit as long as the work is done giving glory to God through loving obedience to Jesus Christ. They seek to partner with any believer or organization who desires to do "something" for the Lord, not matter how small. b
