INTRODUCTION

Every follower of Jesus has been called, equipped, and sent into the world as a missionary right where they are. This means that God has positioned each of us for a purpose to REACH circles of people only we can reach. REACH is more than a collection of talks; it’s an evangelism strategy that centers on our obedience to Jesus’ Great Commission.

“Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” —Matthew 28:18-20

This collection is designed to ignite a movement, moving us from the seats to the streets, from comfort zones to mission fields. We will focus on taking action and living sent where we eat, work, shop, study, live, and play. We will gather strong to scatter strong. Over the next 5 weeks, we will learn what it means to REACH:
