Training
“The ‘easy places’ have been reached. The difficult ones remain. These languages are hard to learn. Governments are hostile to the gospel. It will take men and women with unique training to plant churches among these groups.” –Brooks Buser
Because language and cultural fluency are not optional. Because effective cross-cultural communication is not intuitive. Because God has chosen the local church to send the gospel to the nations.
Prepare Them To Be Sent
Learn how Radius equips cross-cultural workers to clearly understand and articulate the gospel.
Gospel Clarity
Gospel clarity is the difference between activity and actual church planting. Radius trains missionaries to understand and communicate Christ’s message accurately so unreached language groups hear the true gospel, not a distorted version that undermines long-term work.
Workers Who Stay And Finish
Unreached peoples live in hard places, and the work is demanding over years, not weeks. Radius focuses on character, understanding, and field-tested skills so workers serve wisely and avoid the attrition that empties the field before churches are planted.
Training In Real World Pressure
Our nine-month Mexico program brings language, culture, spiritual formation, team life, and high-stress living together every day, not in theory, but in practice. Students “practice how they will play,” learning to thrive in the same kind of environment where they will one day plant churches.
Sent and Held by the Church
Radius trains those sent and affirmed by their local church because God entrusted the Great Commission to churches, not to freelancers. That local-church connection means missionaries go with real accountability, support, and doctrinal stability for the decades it takes to see a healthy, reproducing church established.
Radius is preparing people to do things that are very uncommon that should be common. One of the most appealing things about Radius is their drive to reach people, the drive to train and be knowledgeable about biblical missions and to see students come and churches get involved.— Costi Hinn
Is there a way that we can better train people… so that there can be a long, even decades long, witness in that culture? … Radius is set up to try to provide that training in a superb way.— Mark Dever
How can we ensure… that they’re really clear on the Church and on the mission of the Church and that they’re well positioned to go and to stay? The Great Commission is accomplished… through long termers who go and stay for years and for decades. And I think Radius really can help with that.— Kevin DeYoung
The brief time that I’ve had in contact with Radius has been a signal moment in my Christian life. To see young lives gladly giving themselves… knowing that it may take years before they can meaningfully set before this language group the grace and love of God in Jesus Christ, that’s just been very moving for me.— Ian Hamilton
