Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Local Church Planting

We train and equip local partners to go out and start new churches through evangelism and discipleship.

Population(s) Served

Partnering with local churches, we provide Bible study materials and training to national Christian leaders. These dedicated men and women teach God's Word through Bible study and each person that completes the study receives their own Bible.

Population(s) Served

Our local partners are trained and equipped with children's materials to teach children about the love of Christ. We do outreach through summer camps, sports camps, and in public schools.

Population(s) Served

The Harvest research software compiles comprehensive nationwide data into a database that maps existing churches and identifies areas that do not yet have a church.

Population(s) Served
Adults

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

Reach A Village wants to make sure that every person has the opportunity to learn about how Jesus Christ died to save them and that every village has an evangelical church presence.

Reach A Village believes that the most efficient and cost-effective way to spread the Gospel is to empower indigenous Christians to reach people within their own countries for Christ.

We train these local Christians, equip them with Scripture and Bible study materials in their language, and mobilize them to nearby unreached villages to evangelize, nurture new believers through Bible study and start new churches.

In each of the countries where Reach A Village serves, we partner with networks of national Christian leaders who are capable, already know the language and cultural background, and are eager send their people to unreached villages, but often lack the tools, resources and materials needed.

Reach A Village is seeing tremendous ministry results. Hundreds are accepting the Lord daily in areas of the world that were previously unreached. Individual lives, families and villages are being transformed. Through Reach A Village, over 7,000 villages and more than 2.4 million people around the world have been reached with the Gospel. Yet, it is estimated that 1 million villages and well over 2 billion people worldwide still remain unreached. We will not rest until all of them have the opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ and have access to an evangelical church.
