- STEM Ministries and Bethany International announce the formation of a missions partnership.
STEM Ministries, a nationally-recognized leader in Christian short-term missions, and Bethany International, a mission training and sending agency for career missionaries, are joining their respective short-term mission and career mission competencies beginning September 1, 2008 to expand the mobilization of short-term and career missionaries. STEM brings 24 years of recruiting, training, and sending thousands of short-term missionaries into more than two dozen locations around the world to the partnership. Bethany brings 63 years of training, sending, and supporting more than 700 cross-cultural missionaries into 40 different countries. Its Bethany College of Missions and Bethany International Ministries focus on mobilizing a new generation of missionaries.
STEM Founder and President Roger Peterson notes, “Our partnership with Bethany will allow STEM short-term mission teams to penetrate places we never dreamed possible. Bethany will help ramp up our administration of these multiplied short-term mission efforts, and also provide opportunities for training and career placement to those short-termers in whom God places a longer-term vision during their STEM short-term outreach.”
Bethany CEO Dan Brokke notes, “STEM has pioneered church based short-term missions and has laid a foundation, both in relationship with church and with field mission leadership, to provide high impact mission service opportunities. We look forward to mobilizing together with STEM a whole new generation of short and long-term missionaries.”

- Since 1974, more than 70,000 believers in N. America have experienced the Perspectives course. It’s 800-page textbook (the Perspectives Reader), already in the 3rd Edition, contains more than 120 in-depth mission articles — with the notable exception of anything on short-term missions.
The updated 4th Edition of the Perspectives Reader will be going to press this summer 2008, and contained within the “Strategic Perspective” section of the new Reader will finally be an article on short-term missions. STEM CEO Roger Peterson was asked in early March 2008 to provide a 3,000-word article for the new Reader, and on March 31, 2008, Roger submitted the article.
Roger took his Perspectives course for credit in 1990 on the campus of the U.S. Center for World Mission in Pasadena, California. Since that time, Roger has been a Perspectives faculty class instructor, specializing in the “Obligation and Opportunity,” “The Task Remaining” (out of which came the popular Mission Maker Magazine annual article, “GodSpace”), and “World Christian Teamwork.”
May the Lord be glorified through Perspectives on the World Christian Movement, including Roger’s new article on short-term missions!
