Some Christians ask: “How can we be concerned about other countries when there is so much evangelism yet to be done here at home?” To answer that question, consider this worker to need ratio: In North Africa, there is only one Christian pastor or missionary for every two million people. What a great imbalance! If…

This week in church we watched one of the best short films on missions that we had ever seen. It is incredibly simple, but straightforward and moving, inspiring us again to follow the missionary call upon our lives. We pray that it inspires you to get deeper involved with cross cultural missions at Within Reach…

There is a girl who has been attending our English Corners, discipleship dinners, camps, and various other activities for years. She is graduating this year and trying to make a decision about her future. I’ve had the privilege to help counsel her and give her a loving listening ear. This week I had the chance to spend…

Our 13 local underground Chinese missionaries and 8 foreign staff and interns are continuing to grow and expand this ministry through their faithful efforts among unreached people groups and college students. Not only that, faithful American and international financial supporters have recently been joined by the Chinese underground Church. Last month we hosted a team…

Five years ago, we were sitting in a circle praying and worshipping at a nearby lake during one of our local missionary conventions. Each team member was asked to consider where they would be in five years. After everyone had shared, it was our turn. “In five years we will no longer be living in…

Any time you work and minister in a closed or restricted access nation, you have to be creative in your approach to ministry. That is, how can you go about reaching people for Christ and stay under the radar at the same time? In our setup at Within Reach Global, we have found that the…

The Bridge is our newest underground outreach center in the center of 8 universities and 100,000 students. We just opened The Bridge this month, our sixth underground outreach center.

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…

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…

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…
