An Open Letter to Our Missions Partner: [Name Withheld] of Radius International

Dear Missionary Known to God,

Inasmuch as it is the responsibility of the church—not a denominational entity or parachurch ministry—to set the boundaries of its relationships and stewardship of Kingdom resources, the Elders of Broadview Baptist Church in Lubbock, Texas, provide this update regarding our partnership with you for 2026.

A few years ago, as good stewards of all the Lord has given us, Broadview Baptist Church established ten biblical values we expect our missions partners to embrace and practice (click HERE for a fuller description of each value):

  • Scripture as God’s Word

  • Christian doctrine

  • Biblical distinctives

  • Sanctity of human life

  • Sacredness of sexuality

  • Multi-ethnic brotherhood in Christ

  • Regenerate church membership

  • Godly, male pastors

  • Priority of disciple-making

  • Financial transparency

We also established a Missions Council which, among other responsibilities, brings annual recommendations to the church regarding support for our missions partners.

We are very grateful for the way you inspired our church a few years ago when you visited us and shared your vision to take the gospel to an unreached people group. Although circumstances beyond your control directed you elsewhere, you sought the Lord’s will in how you could be most effective in spreading the message of Christ throughout the world.

Now, as a trainer of others, we pray that your efforts are multiplied beyond what you otherwise dreamed possible.

Our Missions Council was pleased to recommend to our church a continuation of our support for your ministry, and our church unanimously agreed to do so in 2026.

God bless you in your endeavors.

In Christ,
The Elders of Broadview Baptist Church, Lubbock, Texas
