About Us
OUR MISSION
Radius International is committed to assisting the evangelical church and missions community by providing pre-field missions training that will equip cross-cultural workers to establish healthy, indigenous, reproducing churches among unreached language groups.
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.”
“Effective cross-cultural communication is NOT intuitive, and will NOT be stumbled into by accident.”
FOCUSED ON GOSPEL CLARITY
As ambassadors of Jesus Christ, we must be serious about communicating his message with clarity. We must know what we are saying and how we are being heard. Without proficiency in the language and culture of an unreached language group, missionaries and their gospel message may not be taken seriously.
MORE EFFECTIVE WORKERS—LESS UNNECESSARY ATTRITION
The remaining language groups are located in less accessible, uncomfortable regions where the demands are extremely intense. Because of this, many cross-cultural workers leave the field before finishing the task.
We believe 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.
INTEGRATED 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 language groups.
We want to give you a clear picture of what Radius will do for you: how Radius will equip you for long-term, pioneer church planting among an unreached people group. Our curriculum has been designed for those who really intend to impact the world and glorify God through establishing a community of Christ-followers among a people group where such a thing has not been done before.
