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
