The REACH

The Reach is an evangelism organization with a simple vision. We want to see Billions of People give their lives to Christ and become true disciples. We accomplish that through our mission which is to Bring people to Christ and Grow people in Christ. Having shared the Gospel in many different contexts Reach felt it was time to share that experience. Whether you are sharing the faith with a long time friend who is a non believer, evangelizing on the street, doing urban apologetics or talking to your fellow patron at Starbucks Reach has done it all. This ministry was born out of Ryan Douglas’ home Church Bethel Deliverance Church NorthEast. While away on a fast Ryan’s Pastor Timothy Baldwin heard clearly from God about the Evangelism Ministry that needed to be birthed at Bethel North East. The mandate was to REACH. After being commissioned to lead this initiative Ryan took the vision and ran with it! Now the Reach has grown into an organization that brings individuals to Christ, and  equips other believers all over the world to do the same.  

The Mission

The Reach has a simple mission. Encourage disciples to go out and make disciples by using the the D.E.A.P evangelism framework.

What We believe

Who is God. God is the all powerful, all knowing, ever present being that created the universe and everything in it. He is eternally existent as one “Being” sharing three distinct “Persons”. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. All persons being separate yet co equal as one being “God”. 

Who is Jesus. Jesus is one of the persons in the being of God. He came to the earth and died on the cross for the sins of the world. He is the only begotten Son of God. His death, burial and resurrection is the basis of the Christian Faith. HE IS, the only way that salvation can be obtained for any person on earth. 

Who is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God and the third person of the trinity. He is all powerful, eternally existent and he is a person. The Bible teaches that the Holy Spirit is present with all those who have confessed with their mouths the Lord Jesus and believed in their hearts that God has raised him from the dead. He is equally God the same way that the Father and the son are. 

Where is Evangelism in the Bible?

2nd Timothy 4:5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.

The Apostle Paul is charging Timothy to get out there and to the work of an evangelist. We at the Reach know that means to do Matthew 28:18-20 “make disciples”, as well as Mark 16:15 preaching The Gospel to all creation.
