World Geography and God's Heart for the Nations
Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus gave us the Great Commission to go and preach the good news of the Gospel to the ends of the earth. Today, billions of people have still never heard of Jesus, and billions more are living in poverty, abusive circumstances, and hopelessness. This course will not only open students' eyes to the needs of the world around them but will also broaden their understanding of the world and inspire them with a new passion and purpose that that they will take with them for the rest of their lives.
