Southwestern Supports Missions through worldmap.org
by Southwestern News Staff
Southwestern Seminary faculty members and students are mobilizing world missions through the Missions Atlas Project.
This project, located online at www.worldmap.org, combines the efforts of several ministries to create resources for missionaries and the mission-minded. The project’s Web site contains country profiles, interactive maps showing the state of world evangelism, the location of language groups, and other resources. The project also prints a map showing the state of world evangelism and other missions-related statistics.
Since the beginning of the Missions Atlas Project, Southwestern has played a role in providing resources for the project. Keith Eitel, dean of Roy Fish School of Evangelism and Missions, and Dallas businessman Brad Ray envisioned the project in the late 1980s. Today, Southwestern students are introduced to the project during introductory missions courses. Some students research and write the country profiles on the Web site, while others are helping to translate the site into Korean and Turkish.
