Training ambassadors to faithfully proclaim the gospel

The word "Safir" is Arabic for Ambassador. We are training ambassadors to faithfully proclaim the gospel, not just to the Arabic speaking world, but to all nations. As Christ’s ambassadors, we have been entrusted with the Gospel (2 Corinthians 5:20) so we take training seriously and focus on the following:

Gospel Clarity: Faithful proclamation of Jesus Christ's redemptive work.

Holistic Development: Integrating spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health for sustained faithfulness.

Intercultural Adaptability: Prioritizing deep engagement in language learning and cultural sensitivity to build meaningful relationships.

Joyful Endurance: Embracing sustained faithfulness and resilience in the face of challenges.

Our Story

Moved by the growing need for gospel work among the unreached, in 2020, Radical, began making plans to establish a training center designed to equip long-term global workers to make Jesus known among the hardest-to-reach people and places. In 2022, that vision began to take shape when Radical partnered with a team of seasoned workers to build the training program in Western Asia to execute this vision. By God’s grace, the first class began in August 2023 with sixteen students.

Following the second class in 2025, Radical launched the training center to become Safir Global Training, an independent training organization. The team and the training remain committed to the original vision: to serve the global Church by equipping workers to establish churches among the nations.
