About this listen

Welcome to Mission 21: Taking Biblical Education to Nationals, a weekly Christian podcast hosted by Dr. Bruce Snavely, founder and director of the Global Baptist Training Foundation (GBTF). Released every Monday, Mission 21 exists to help the Church understand modern missions—and why training national pastors, leaders, and believers is one of the most effective ways to move and multiply the gospel of Jesus Christ.

With decades of ministry experience—including church planting, leading churches, and Christian education—Dr. Snavely brings a theologically grounded, practical approach to missions. He also holds a Ph.D. in Historical Theology (University of Bristol, UK) and is the author of three books, including The Voices of Nationals, which explains Why Training the Indigenous Moves and Multiplies the Gospel Forward; and Indigenous, which shares what God has accomplished through training nationals and what the vision holds for the next decade.
