Growing in Christ

Yan P. is a young pastor from a small town in Ukraine’s Cherkassy region.

An Eager Servant Finds His Purpose in the Amazon

“I want to serve God like an instrument,” says Jardel, looking down at the small, solar-powered device in his hand. The mini audio player is no doubt one of his most prized possessions.

Trusting God

Following Christ often brings with it persecution to believers in countries like Iran.

Taking Jesus to the Unreached

Today, 3 billion people are unreached. If nothing changes, it will take centuries for them all to hear the Gospel.  At Reach A Village, our inspiration comes from the words of Jesus in Mark 1:38, “Let us go somewhere else — to the nearby villages — so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” Instead of remaining in…
