Radius trains missionaries to plant churches in the hardest places to reach in the world.

Students were encouraged this final week of classes as George Walker, a missionary to the Bisorio people of Papua New Guinea for 18 years, led morning devotionals, sharing what he would tell his own children if they were about to be sent out to the field.

One of Radius's primary goals is that students leave with a greater reliance on the Lord than when they arrived. By his grace we have seen that in this class.

This week, Dave Brunn, who spent over 20 years among the Lamogai of Papua New Guinea and translated the Bible into their language, taught Semantics and Translation. As the school year closes, this is vital preparation for students to one day bring the Scripture to the unreached.

Last week, we held our annual Women's Panel. Students heard from current and former missionaries with a combined 45 years on the field about what being a woman in missions looks like. With graduation in just 2 weeks, these conversations matter before they go themselves.

Radius was built by experienced missionaries who know what effective gospel communication requires. Language and cultural fluency are foundational, and our training is built around that.

Planning to start Radius' pre-field missionary training can be tough. You may have questions about attending with kids, tuition costs, daily life on campus, and more. We're glad to answer any of them.

Radius trains missionary candidates for long-term faithfulness on the field. That involves forming both their capacity and character. This formation shapes how students come to see the task itself: not only as a command, but also as a privilege.

The capacity to handle a heavy workload and prioritize effectively is Radius' eighth and final criterion for evaluating successful missionaries and church planters.

Radius training is built on six core areas, equipping you for the realities of cross-cultural church planting. Understanding and being able to teach the biblical narrative considering your hearers' worldview and context is one of those areas.

"Good training gets as close to 'game time' as possible." — Brooks Buser, Radius President

That's why Radius students learn a language during training, not just acquisition theory, because fluency is essential to clearly bringing the gospel to an unreached language group.

Our faculty doesn’t teach from textbooks. They teach from the trenches. Years among unreached language groups. Mistakes made. Lessons earned. They forge students with the character, commitment, and skills needed to plant churches where none exist.

[Radius International @RadiusInt]

Being disciplined, humble and persistent as it relates to learning a new language and culture is Radius’ sixth criterion for evaluating successful missionaries and church planters.

Those who follow Christ should expect to suffer. Scripture is clear. Paul writes, "All who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted" (2 Tim 3:12). Radius prepares students for this reality, training them to labor faithfully under God's sovereign hand.

[Radius International @RadiusInt]

Radius prepares our students for a single goal: to plant healthy, indigenous, reproducing churches in unreached language groups. This means our curriculum is practical, rigorous, and tailored to the realities of cross-cultural ministry.

[Radius International @RadiusInt]

Being able to have an honest, engaging conversation with someone (“don’t be weird”) is Radius’ fifth criterion for evaluating successful missionaries and church planters.
