Brad Buser, co-founder of Radius International, spent over 20 years church planting among unreached people groups, particularly in Papua New Guinea. He shared his journey of being called to missions as a young Christian, the challenges of learning the language and culture, and raising his family in the jungle. Buser emphasized the importance of discipline, commitment, and reliance on prayer in taking the gospel to the unreached. He encouraged the audience to consider dedicating their lives to this work, while acknowledging the cost, and urged those not called to go to become "rope holders" who support missionaries through prayer and giving.

During his visit to the UK in January, Brooks Buser (President of Radius International) joined us GBM Mission Centre. In this interview with Paul Brunning, Brooks speaks about his experience of pioneer church planting among the Yembi Yembi of Papua New Guinea and the work that Radius does in preparing future missionaries to serve in some of the most challenging places. We discuss the central place that local churches have in motivating, identifying and preparing their members for mission service, and the way that agencies like Radius and GBM can support this. Brooks also outlines the 'four lanes of mission work', and the importance of inspiring more Christians to take the gospel to peoples who have never yet heard. radiusinternational.org missionary.com | Film series (streaming) | Film series (DVD)    

For years, the Perspectives Course has been a go-to training option for Christians eager to learn about cross-cultural missions. Thousands have been blessed by the insight delivered through the course and its training text, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. Pastors, missions committees, future missionaries and even regular Christians hoping to learn more about God's heart for the peoples have benefitted. And while much of Perspectives is wonderful, you should be cautious about certain teachings embedded in the course. So warns Josh Manley, a pastor serving in the United Arab Emirates. Josh joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to highlight his concerns, particularly with Perspective's favorable treatment of Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements, or CPM, sound amazing. But as Josh points out, CPM is a specific methodology that, when looked at closely, may have problems. Is CPM more biblical or pragmatic? What do Christians taking the Perspectives Course need to consider? Listen in and learn as Josh unpacks this important issue, which has already made a profound impact on missions and the Church.

Across the church, there is a rift between theology and missions. Bad theology produces bad missions, and bad missions fuels bad theology. We wrongly think that we must choose between making a global impact and thinking deeply about the things of God. But the relationship between theology and missions is symbiotic—one cannot exist without the other. They walk hand-in-hand. Alex Kocman and Chad Vegas join the Christian Emergency Alliance to unpack these ideas for pastors, regular Christians and even missionaries themselves.  Together they help demystify the world of missions, and empower believers to discern what is healthy and what is not. You will learn about popular mission strategies like Insider Movements, Church Planting Movements (CPM), and Disciple Making Movements (DMM). But how do these strategies bear up under biblical scrutiny? And how does the Bible speak to how we should advance the Gospel in different cultures.

Brooks Buser, President of , says the best missionaries smell like the local people they have gone to serve. They focus not just on learning a language but understanding and living the culture, eating local food and joining in the things that fuel human interaction in that place. Buser says just as Christ came as a human baby into this world, missionaries that last become like those they are trying to reach for the sake of the gospel. Before leading Radius, Brooks was a missionary kid in Papua New Guinea. As an adult he went back to PNG as a missionary to the YembiYembi people with New Tribes Mission (now Ethnos360). Listen as he shares the hardest challenges of missions and his own experience immersing himself in the culture of the Yembi people. With the goal of teaching them the Bible, his team first had to learn their language, culture, and integrate into their new clan families. that tells the story of Brooks and his family's mission work in Papua New Guinea. One of the things new YembiYembi Christians faced early in their faith journey was persecution. But Brooks sees that Christian persecution as a blessing rather than a curse. Today, Brooks leads Radius International as they train mission workers—in multiple languages, to be sent by multiple mission agencies—to go with the gospel to the ends of the earth. Part of that training is a language learning methodology that immerses future missionaries in a local language like Spanish, giving them tools and training to quickly learn the language of the place where God will call them to serve as missionaries. Brooks will also describe the qualities he looks for that point to successful long-term mission service and how he prays for those who commit to gospel work. Pray for future missionaries and Radius International's training schools as they prepare students to share the gospel in the heart language of the people God calls them to serve. Brooks will be one of the speakers for , to be held October 16-18th in Jacksonville, Florida.

Many church and missions leaders are concerned that disciple making movements, church planting movements, and other multiplication methodologies are guilty of pragmatism. Conversely, movement practitioners accuse critics of being too tied to tradition. Is there common ground? In a recent article for Global Missiology, Middle East missionary J.R. Stevenson claims the two sides of the conversation may agree more than previously thought. We interact with these claims in this unique, engaging conversation.

Can Baptists partner together on mission while still holding to local church autonomy? Dr. James Renihan, theologian and president of International Reformed Baptist Seminary, answers. After a ministry of church planting in central Massachusetts, Dr. James Renihan and his family moved to Escondido, CA in 1998 to begin serving as Dean of the newly formed Institute of Reformed Baptist Studies. He led that work for 20 years, and when it became IRBS Theological Seminary in 2018 was appointed the first president. He has served as a pastor of churches in Massachusetts, New York and California. He is a graduate of Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (Ph.D.), Seminary of the East (M.Div.), Trinity Ministerial Academy, and Liberty Baptist College (B.S.). His academic work has focused on the Second London Baptist Confession and the broader Puritan theological context from which it arose. This episode is sponsored by Radius International.

For years, the Perspectives Course has been a go-to training option for Christians eager to learn about cross-cultural missions. Thousands have been blessed by the insight delivered through the course and its training text, Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. Pastors, missions committees, future missionaries and even regular Christians hoping to learn more about God's heart for the peoples have benefitted. And while much of Perspectives is wonderful, you should be cautious about certain teachings embedded in the course. So warns Josh Manley, a pastor serving in the United Arab Emirates. Josh joins the Christian Emergency Podcast to highlight his concerns, particularly with Perspective's favorable treatment of Church Planting Movements. Church Planting Movements, or CPM, sound amazing. But as Josh points out, CPM is a specific methodology that, when looked at closely, may have problems. Is CPM more biblical or pragmatic? What do Christians taking the Perspectives Course need to consider? Listen in and learn as Josh unpacks this important issue, which has already made a profound impact on missions and the Church.

Across the church, there is a rift between theology and missions. Bad theology produces bad missions, and bad missions fuels bad theology. We wrongly think that we must choose between making a global impact and thinking deeply about the things of God. But the relationship between theology and missions is symbiotic—one cannot exist without the other. They walk hand-in-hand. Alex Kocman and Chad Vegas join the Christian Emergency Alliance to unpack these ideas for pastors, regular Christians and even missionaries themselves. Together they help demystify the world of missions, and empower believers to discern what is healthy and what is not. You will learn about popular mission strategies like Insider Movements, Church Planting Movements (CPM), and Disciple Making Movements (DMM). But how do these strategies bear up under biblical scrutiny? And how does the Bible speak to how we should advance the Gospel in different cultures.
