S1E1. Introduction to the Rescue Mission Podcast by Dr. Andrew Sears, CVU President

This very brief episode provides an introduction to the Rescue Mission Podcast by Dr. Andrew Sears, the President of City Vision University. This podcast is paired with a website and newsletter we are calling the Rescue Mission Report at rescuemissions.cityvision.edu.
Season 1 of our podcast and our first article focuses on the History and Values of the Rescue Mission movement. The target audience is all rescue mission staff and supporters. We have compiled what we believe to be the most extensive digital library of history resources on the rescue mission movement. We believe it is essential to be grounded in the Biblical history and tradition of the movement before delving into the latest innovations.
Season 2 of our podcast and later articles focus on diffusion of innovation and best practices from a wide range of research reports. The target audience for this is executive leaders at missions (and those who one day aspire to be executive leaders). To compile this, we are building on hundreds of years of combined experience within the rescue mission movement of our staff and faculty, as well as 240+ books, over 100+ courses and hundreds of documents compiled from partners in our toolkits.
