The 100% Model: Taking A Page From The Charity: Water Handbook

 1024 682 Within Reach Global

Ever since I heard of charity: water’s bold promise to the general public, that 100% of their donations would go directly to the field to fund water projects, I was enamored. I coveted their promise, and sought to come up with ideas to replicate that strategy at Within Reach Global. Given, we are still somewhat…

Missions Ain’t That Mysterious

 1024 802 Within Reach Global

I have recently come to understand that many Christians do not get involved in long term missions because of the mystery surrounding what missionaries do. Or perhaps what missions actually is. Or possibly because they feel they have to “sacrifice it all for the sake of the call,” giving up their gifts and enjoyments to…

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…

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…

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…

A Trailblazer, A Handful Of Seeds, And A Vibrant Harvest

 800 600 Within Reach Global

A handful of seeds. An unreached village. A willing missionary. Trailblazing feet. And then time. God watches over the times and seasons. 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…
