Missionary Training for the 21st Century Radius International provides missionary training to those that wish to plant churches among unreached people groups in a pioneer context. We equip cross-cultural workers with the tools needed to be effective and avoid unnecessary attrition before the task is complete.
The UPGs are located where the demands are extremely intense. Because of this, many cross-cultural workers leave the field before finishing the task. Radius was started because we believe that missionaries can serve longer and more effectively with intentional, practical pre-field training that addresses the character qualities, the understanding, and the skills essential to cross-cultural church planters.
Equipping cross-cultural workers to clearly understand and articulate the gospel is at the core of our mission at Radius. As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we must be serious about communicating his message with clarity. Without proficiency in the language and culture, missionaries and their gospel message may not be taken seriously.
CHURCH PLANTING ~ UNREACHED LANGUAGE GROUPS ~ COMMITMENT TO FINISHING ~ PARTNERING WITH THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY ~ INCARNATIONAL LIVING ~ LANGUAGE AND CULTURAL FLUENCY ~ SUFFERING IS NORMATIVE
We train those who are committed to long-term, pioneer church planting among unreached language groups. Radius students acquire spiritual, relational, emotional, and moral maturity, as well as the physical stamina that will enable them to survive the rigors of cross-cultural living. Because God has chosen the local church as the method of taking the gospel to the nations, our primary requirement for applicants is involvement in their local church and approval by their local church as “missionary candidates in training.”
At Radius we believe that you “practice how you play.” Consequently, our missionary training program places a high value on learning in a foreign culture. That is why our training centers are located in Mexico. Buying food, making friends, and learning language and culture in a cross-cultural environment provides invaluable training for our students. Our ten-month program provides students daily, real-time cross-cultural experiences for learning how to integrate culture and language acquisition, spiritual formation, team building, and high-stress living.
Radius offers the kind of equipping that is essential for those who endeavor to plant a church among the unreached.
