REACH serves as a resource to guide people in discovering their role in bringing the gospel to unreached people groups living overseas. Suitable for individual or group use, these free, interactive sessions are powerful tools for mission engagement.
Anyone can facilitate REACH—it’s not limited to missionaries, those with seminary degrees, church staff, or leadership roles. This resource is designed for anyone passionate about informing others about global disciple-making, making it accessible and practical for all.
The first session, “The Nations,” serves as an introductory gateway and should be completed first. The remaining five sessions can be completed in any order and are structured around the acronym THUMB, representing Tribal, Hindu, Unreligious, Muslim, and Buddhist peoples.
The goal of REACH is to become SOGY—Support Others or Go Yourself. “Support Others” means actively aiding those engaged in mission work among the unreached, whether through faithful prayer, consistent financial support, or personalized encouragement. “Go Yourself” consists of individuals participating directly by exploring short-term, mid-term, or long-term overseas mission opportunities with an aligned sending agency. Beyond and Pioneers serve as contact points to those seeking to support others as well as those seeking personal involvement as goers. Together, these paths ensure that everyone can contribute meaningfully to reaching the unreached.
REACH is organized into six sessions, each containing five meetings. The meetings generally follow the same interactive format of Study, Watch, Discuss, Read, View, and Pray. While there may be more material than time allows so choose which resources to engage. Allocate at least 90 minutes per meeting if possible to foster meaningful interaction. Each meeting includes impactful videos, so try to arrange for them to be shown to the entire group at once. Providing refreshments afterward encourages fellowship and allows conversations to continue informally.
