What is the state of missions in the world today?

Thank you for joining us for this special bonus episode of the radical

podcast where radical's global strategy team sits down to answer this question and to discuss new ways

you can be involved. There are various barriers and other factors that have led to a great imbalance in the way we use our resources

and send out missionaries. And as a result, those with little or no gospel witness often go unnoticed, while areas of the world that

have been reached continue to receive the vast majority of our support.

Why does the great imbalance still exist? And what, if anything, can be done about it?

Listen in as our global strategy team discuss these issues in today's episode called State of Missions.

Welcome, thank you guys so much for joining us today. So I think we can all agree that we want to be as

effective as possible and sharing the gospel with people around us, both

pastors leading people to share the gospel as well as individual members of churches. So how do we do that knowing

that there are unreached people all over the world who don't have access to the gospel and

it's very difficult to get the gospel to them. What does that mean for us and how can we get involved?

Today at Radical we have the privilege of speaking with some members of our global strategy team to talk about those questions and the state of missions in the world today.

Welcome. We're glad to have all of you here today as we begin this conversation

specifically along the lines of the state of global missions and particularly

how you even as an individual or as a church may be involved in part of the process of getting the gospel

to those in really really difficult places. I have here today with me Danny Wise and Conrad Prescott, my name is Chris Hunsberger, CEO of Radical.

Now Conrad is actually off the screen and part of the reason for that is just for security reasons.

Conrad actually serves in a really difficult location

where we do need to protect his identity.

So you will hear his voice in just a few moments
