like it was it was a pain

But yeah, so we start teaching in 2008.

We start Genesis and we start working our way towards the Christ figure.

All of Genesis 1, 2, and 3 were really big for our guys.

I'm a big believer.

You got to have that foundation if you're going to understand the gospel.

And so our guys are tracking.

Okay.

Well, it is a privilege to be with you today.

I was here for the first time in 2017.

My wife and I were visiting her mother who was teaching at Annapolis, and we had heard of this church and been blessed by some of the resources that Nine marks had produced and we were reading those while we were over in Papua New Guinea and we came to visit and a young man by the name of Blake Boylston was teaching that Sunday on Romans chapter 5 and we sat up there.

We had no idea that Sitting down here was maybe preferable to that, but we sat up there and we enjoyed it tremendously.

The parking attendant told us that our cars were going to be pinned in by three other cars, and we would likely get them out sometime around 2 o'clock, and he was accurate in that assessment.

We still enjoyed it tremendously, and I'm very thankful to call Blake Boylston today a dear friend, thankful for that brother as he ministers in Arkansas, and your pastor a dear friend as well.

... tell us about, just for those who may not know, and you know, they're new to Pillar, uh, what is Radius? Kind of what do y'all do, and then, uh, key texts that sort of drive who you're, like who you are and what you're about.

Yeah.

So Radius is a nine-month training school.

If you speak English, it's located down in Tijuana, Mexico.

If you speak Mandarin, we have a campus, a secret campus in China.

If you speak Hindi, we have a campus in India, and then we're prepping for one in Africa fairly soon.

But we are a training school that trains missionaries how to plant churches among what we call unreached language groups.
