We are gaining serious ground as “the best English Corner in the city” reaches out to hundreds of college students as they flood to the city in search of a better future. It all started with a dream in 2004. “I want to start a campus ministry that reaches university students across the province,” my…

A few weeks ago we received news that two of our local missionaries—young women who are managing The Edge children’s ministry—were caught by the police. We were very concerned for them, and after 2 days of not being able to contact them, we gathered all our local underground missionaries to pray for them. See Facebook…

“It is so great to witness the transformation of our Chinese friends,” our Filipino missionary told us a few days ago. “It is truly encouraging and inspiring as we have played a small part in helping them open their hearts and minds to reach out to those in need. They are not only thinking of…

We have a passion to be the voice for the voiceless; to remind the Christian community of the plight of the yet unreached people groups throughout Southeast Asia. We have recognized a hunger for God over the years, and truly believe that today these people are within reach. If only we would step up to…

Or should we call it 3,000 miles for unreached people groups who have yet to hear of Jesus? Or maybe all those miles were for the special needs children of Within Reach Global, for the orphans, for the hundreds of college students being reached by the gospel. Maybe it was simply 3,000 miles for sake…

Not every story from the frontlines of the mission field ends happily ever after. Yes, we rejoice that Auntie Zhang has gone to be with her Savior, but the lostness of her family brings us sadness. “Just recently, we were walking to Auntie Zhang’s home to visit her after church,” Brother Yin, our local missionary…

He is always faithful to cause the simple seeds we sow to grow into a vibrant harvest. In 2004, a tremendous harvest was wrapped up inside a tiny handful of seeds. It was…
