Another year has come and gone in the blink of an eye! It’s amazing how fast time flies, but we want to take a moment to pause and reflect on what God has done through your faithful giving and through the Within Reach Global staff this year.
It has been a year of great change and transition, which in turn has led to great growth and breakthrough. From new local scouting teams sent to Myanmar and Vietnam, to ongoing training among underground Church leaders and outreach among unreached people groups—it is an exciting ministry to be a part of!
We have staff joining us in China and the Philippines this January 2012, and are excited to see the growth this coming season.
So again, thank you so much for your generous giving. Partnered with you, we can truly change lives in places yet to know the name of Jesus.
