Dean walks us step-by-step through faith-based principles with the power to transform any local assembly into a 1st class missions-giving church. Bro.

Veteran missionary to Guatemala, Brad Thompson challenges us to move beyond “the missionary must win the whole nation by himself” mentality, into the realm of ministry multiplication through the power of transformative teaching. We are to duplicate ourselves in those we teach because that is what Jesus did. Bro. Thompson candidly shares his frustrations and successes in the process of growing a world-class Bible School program in the nation of Guatemala, along with a series of “student-first” principles for Bible School programs. As a Regional Coordinator for the UPCI Global Missions official training arm, Global Association of Theological Studies (GATS), Bro. Thompson also describes the GATS Global Educators program. The dual-pronged program provides training resources to missionaries and also provides ample service opportunities for those considering service on the mission field. For more information about GATS, its resources, and its service opportunities visit https://www.gatsonline.org/ or email Bro.

International evangelist and veteran missionary of 21 years to German-speaking nations, Charles Robinette, details his first Holy Ghost crusade in Ethiopia and how it ignited a radically apostolic ministry and launched a global crusade ministry. In this episode, Bro. Robinette peels back the “mystique” behind crusade ministry. We tend to home in on two or three services in which thousands of miracles and Holy Ghost infillings take place. But as Bro. Robinette explains apostolic crusade ministry functions best as an enduring partnership of faith. And the greatest benefit comes in the apostolic training of the crusade team, which will bear fruit for generations. Bro. Robinette's new book, Radically Apostolic: The Reality, the Journey and the Reward of the Call of God, can be purchased in certain languages at amazon.com (Kindle and paperback). https://www.amazon.com (English Version Hardcover).

A veteran missionary of 18 years explains one of the newest strategies of the UPCI for evangelizing unreached people groups in Access Challenged Nations (ACNs).  ACNs are characterized by two or more of the following criteria: Little or no known indigenous apostolic presence, challenging visa and immigration policies, or persecution. The extensive ACN network combines a team of researchers with national churches, already appointed missionaries in gateway nations, and even other Christians in different denominations to uncover solutions for penetrating ACNs. If you would like to learn more about ACNs or are interested in getting involved in ACN missions, please visit the Short-Term Missions link or email address below:https://www.gmstm.net/ACNupci@protonmail.comIf you'd like to connect with the TMT team on Twitter or other platforms, check out the links below:Nathan Harrod, @NathanHarrodRyan Paul, @ApostolicPaulsJoshua Tingley, @TingleyJoshua Sam Zenobia (Instagram) @snkzenobia

Raised from age eight as a missionary kid (MK) in South Korea, Bishop Bernard recalls what it was like to live under the constant specter of communist aggression and in a distinctly different (Eastern) culture. While the challenges to MKs are readily apparent, Bishop Bernard brings into sharp relief the seldom acknowledged advantages of being raised as an MK in a foreign culture. The bishop also shares his thoughts on emerging foreign fields (e.g., unreached people groups) and enduring opportunities for missionaries in “established” or “mature” foreign fields. To cap it all off, the bishop lists the characteristics he would want to see in the current and future corps of short- and long-term global missionaries within the UPCI.  Bishop D.K.

Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction … (James 1:17 ESV)  In this week's podcast, veteran missionaries Ron and Terry Brian give powerful witness to the truth that one can be a missionary and still take care of those who are hurting. The Brian's indefatigable efforts include Bible school, English classes, programs to feed the hungry community, and a non-stop construction project to build ever more churches. It is truly remarkable to hear how God has blessed this national work with over 50,000 constituents, in spite of the spiritual oppression and a high level of crime currently affecting Haiti.

Missionary of 29 years to Bangladesh, Brother James Corbin discusses principles for long-term success on the mission field, ranging from confidence in our calling to consistency in language and cultural study. At the same time, Brother Corbin reminds us that God cannot demonstrate His miraculous power until we step out of our comfort zone in faith. The consistent sowing of these principles, in faith, has turned Bangladesh into a revival nation.

When God called Elisha, he burnt his plow and sacrificed his oxen. Elisha went “all in” with God and his mentor, Elijah. But is it really that easy to leave the career, the mortgage, and the car payments behind to pursue missions? In this week's podcast, The Missions Table team explores this question. Brother Ryan Paul and Brother Sam Zenobia share their experiences in leaving successful careers, as well as the Biblical principles that helped them break loose from the “rat race” and transition to the missions field.  If you'd like to connect with TMT team on other platforms, check out the links below:Nathan Harrod (Twitter) @NathanHarrodRyan Paul (Twitter) @ApostolicPaulsJoshua Tingley (Twitter) @TingleyJoshua Sam Zenobia (Instagram) @snkzenobia 

Missionary Troy Wickett from Fiji and the Solomon Islands explains how his “doorway policy” with God helped him and his family transition from the pastorate of an established North American church to a 3rd world missions field. Brother Wickett also takes us step-by-step on how a missionary can plug into a nationalized work to help that work. He shares how the Lord has blessed the work, despite challenges with communications technology and travel among the hundreds of inhabited islands that make up these nations. There are now four Bible school campuses with 130 students and a 5 campus on the way! If you're interested in supporting Fiji and the Solomon Islands as part of the UPCI's Short-Term Missions, check out the links below. Missionary Troy Wickett (Facebook), https://www.facebook.com/jennette.wickett UPCI Short-Term Missions (STM), https://www.gmstm.net/Associates in Missions (AIM), https://www.aim2go.org/   

Not everyone who is called to missions receives a supernatural vision or hears an audible voice from God. So how do we discern whether the call to missions is from God and authentic? The Missions Table (TMT) Team shares the unique ways in which the call to missions came to them, and how they became convinced of its authenticity and followed it.While each person's call and journey to missions is unique, the TMT Team shares time-tested principles to follow in pursuit of the call. These principles apply even after we know the call is from God and whether we are trying to reach the mission field or have already arrived there.
