When A Witch Doctor Dies

 1024 768 Within Reach Global

When a witch doctor dies, the unexpected occurs.   No chopping off of chicken heads and sprinkling blood in animistic ritual. No dangling dog teeth over corpses. No dark wizardry. We have shared meals of live grub worms and cat soup with him. We have laughed with him and spoken truth into his life. We knew…

Reaching Unengaged People Groups Through Urban Mission

 800 600 Within Reach Global

I have spent some serious time on rural Chinese mountain tops, hours conversing with former headhunting tribes and ethnic minorities and unreached people groups. Real life people kind of ministry, where life rubs off onto life, and handshakes and hugs and smiles ensue. Conversations usually take place over wok fried leafy greens and spicy oil…

Missions Impacting Families

 800 534 Within Reach Global

The thought of impacting families is an integral facet of missions, but sadly so often overlooked. Admittedly, in the past even by Within Reach Global. For years we trekked through rural mountain villages in China, seeking hungry hearts to share the gospel with. We targeted young people, future leaders and culture shapers. And we still…

More Persecution, More Growth

 800 450 Within Reach Global

“More persecution, more growth. That is the history of the Church!” Pastor Samuel Lamb, a Chinese Christian who was imprisoned for his faith for 21 years, grins with a toothy smile as he let’s you in on the reality of Christian persecution. “More growth,” he repeats, and then he is silent, contemplating his years of…

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…

Preaching To Her Police Persecutors

 1024 705 Within Reach Global

They’re hot right now. That’s what we say when the police are on your trail; when you are being followed; when you’re wanted for doing Christian ministry in China. Hot like a hot potato. Hot on the radar. Just days before we sent Sister Li and Sister Zhang to the Philippines for an intensive leadership…

Persecution Is Still Very Real In The 21st Century

 1024 630 Within Reach Global

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…

3,000 Miles For The Persecuted Church

 800 534 Within Reach Global

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…
