It only takes a couple of days in Southeast Asia to realize HOW IMPORTANT the ancestors are to families and the culture.  Most people believe that the dead continue living in the “afterlife” and need relatives to send things to them to make their afterlife better. People go to immense effort to keep the graves…

1024 777 Within Reach Global

Who are the women of the 10/40 window? They are daughters, they are businesswomen, they are widows, they are beggars, they are teachers, they are farmers, they are mothers; they live in cities, they live in remote villages, they live in brothels, they live in high-rises.

10 Practical and Powerful Ways to Support Missionaries

1024 683 Within Reach Global

Sadly, over the centuries of missionary efforts, there has been a huge disconnect between the church at home and those sent to the mission field. People at home are not sure what to do or say to us on the field, and we on the field often feel forgotten and abandoned. At the same time,…

What reaching the unreached looks like for me

1024 576 Within Reach Global

I arrive in the little “old town” tourist area a half hour before class. It is 9:30 in the morning and the sleepy little town is just waking up. Merchants are opening stores, vendors are selling steamed buns and ladies are washing their hair in buckets outside their shops. I like to walk through the…

It might have come across a little crass, but I’m glad I did it. The world we live in is not a fair place.

Free Tibet

1024 576 Within Reach Global

The Roof of the World – it sounds so dramatic, adventurous and cold. If you mention Tibet or Tibetan people, many people think of Mount Everest, the Dalai Lama or the Brad Pitt movie. Maybe the first mention a westerner might hear is a Hollywood star shouting, “Free Tibet.” “Free Tibet” is a slogan I…
