Why Radius?

Within the first four years, 50% of missionaries leave the field, and by year seven, that number rises to approximately 75%.

Our training uniquely addresses the reasons behind the attrition and equips missionaries to plant healthy, reproducing churches by preparing candidates to finish the task.

‍​
Clarity That Plants Churches

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 fills a gap that many pastors don’t even know exists

The Great Commission is not accomplished through short-term missions. It’s accomplished through long-termers who go and stay for years and for decades and Radius helps with that.

I commend it to you for your consideration and for your support

We have a couple from our own church who are serving elsewhere in the world that have been trained by Radius.

I’m thankful to God for knowing Radius

To see young lives gladly giving themselves to decades of language study… knowing it may take 5, 10, 15 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.

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.

Effective Training

To be effective in missions takes more than a love for humanity. It takes a vision for Christ and a clear understanding of what Christ wants communicated.
