Fieldpartner.org is an online community and resource for Christian missionaries working across cultures at each individual stage of their journey, pre, on and post field. The organisation is also committed to helping those who send and support these missionaries as they undergo the process of living and ministering in a different culture. The website features free video courses, blogs, podcasts, sermons and more!
In our podcast, we share insights, interviews and stories from those with experience on the mission field.

Margaret Atwood called the saying 'What you don't know won't hurt you “a dubious maxim: sometimes what you don't know, she says, can hurt you very much.” I would agree, especially when it comes to not even knowing what we don’t know and when that ignorance can really trip us up! In my view, this is very much the case when it comes to crossing cultures. There are at least 3 areas of ‘not knowing’ where we can save ourselves a lot of trouble by simply finding out. That is our objective with this webinar – to lift the veil a little bit and help you to see where some basic knowledge is a very good thing! -
Ben Gilbert
We're thrilled to introduce Ben, our new Dean of Studies for FieldPartner English. A proper Third Culture Kid, Ben's experience and skillset makes him the perfect fit for this new role, so before he started officially, we managed to sit down and get to know him a little more. Growing up as a missionary kid had a range of challenges, not least when he returned 'home' to the UK and found he didn't really fit in. Ever since, Ben has held a range of educational and missional posts, and we're delighted to have him on board with us at FieldPartner!

Andy McCullough
Having grown up in Cyprus, being married to Jessica – who is South African – and with four children who were born in the UK but grew up in the Middle East, Andy is no stranger to crossing cultures! In this insightful interview he shares his experiences and lessons learned from years serving in Istanbul, as well as other nations.
Currently based at Reading Family Church in the UK as their Teaching Pastor and is an avid student of language, culture, mission and the Bible. Andy is involved in planting churches and coaching church planters as the leader of the Unreached Network, facilitating best practice in cross-cultural mission across the wider Newfrontiers family.
We also discuss his book 'Global Humility' which is certainly worth a read. You'll come away from this interview with something to think about!

Samuel Renling
We had the chance to sit down with Samuel and hear a little about his cross-cultural story. Hailing from rural Sweden, Samuel's parent's service as missionaries had a significant impact on his own life, as he too has served in cross-cultural contexts, particularly with young people, and now as a husband to Joy, from Taiwan, he has a new insight being in a cross-cultural marriage. It's wonderful to sit down with this humble and faithful servant and compare notes on the cross-cultural journey!
