There is still time to sign up for the 2026 Ralph D. Winter Lectureship!

This year's topic centers around third culture kids who are growing up on the missions field. The experience of being a kid sent to a mission field is unique and quite complex. And the fact of the matter is that many adults and organizations around these kids aren’t really sure what to do with them. Should we think of them as kids whose parents are missionaries? Is there also some sense in which the kids are missionaries themselves? Are they a problem to be managed? Workers to be supported? In addition to these questions, Missionary Kids also often end up with an awkward relationship with the concept of a “home culture,” not entirely sure where they belong. This also leads to some very divergent faith walks, even among siblings. Happily, the experiences of kids in missionary families have been getting increased attention from mission researchers and organizations in the last few decades.

This year, in honor of Ralph Winter’s 100th Birthday and the long heritage of mission engagement in his children and grandchildren, the Ralph D Winter Research Center is spending time reflecting on the experiences of children in missionary families. We will be presenting research and insights from experts in people care and development and also gathering several thought-leaders in the field.

“I thought I was alone.”

That sentiment is often shared by leaders of color working in predominantly white spaces. They know God has entrusted them with gifts and skills essential for kingdom work in their organizations — yet belonging and community are often bypassed when their presence is reduced to a symbol of diversity. Many leaders of color experience spiritual fatigue as they serve faithfully while grappling with the ways their full identity is not celebrated. The burden is heavy — and too often invisible.

Join us on August 27 at 1:00 p.m. ET for a free webinar featuring meaningful conversation among leaders of color who have carried the weight of leadership with resilience and hope. Co-hosted by the National Association of Evangelicals and William Carey International University, this webinar will elevate the voices of leaders of color who have found purpose, healing and rest through community with other leaders of color.

Frontiers Founder, Greg Livingstone, was a long time friend of WCIU. The first offices of Frontiers were on the campus of WCIU and the U.S. Center for World Mission (now Frontier Ventures). Greg was first elected to the WCIU Board of Directors in September 1982 and as Chair in March 1983, serving until 1990. He later received an Honorary Doctorate from WCIU In September of 2019. We are sad to hear of his passing but grateful for the legacy he leaves behind and for the gift of his life's work among unreached peoples.

By Greg Parsons, PhD. I have been mentored and motivated by a small number of passionate leaders who challenged me to leave the ordinary and attempt the necessary to advance God’s Kingdom. Greg Livingstone was one of those leaders — always urging engagement in the cause. While I was already comm...

Join WCIU and Fuller Seminary LIVE or virtually for a Symposium about state of World Christianity today. Registration if FREE for required. DM us for the link!

Since the late twentieth century, we have returned to a situation not seen since the end of the first millennium: There are more Christians outside Europe than within it. Today the continents with the most Christians are Africa and Latin America. "World Christianity" is both a fact and a field of study. In this symposium, we will engage with thought-leaders on world Christianity to discover what difference world Christianity makes to the US church and missions.
