R.E.A.C.H. (Reaching Every Available Community Household) has been born out of
almost twenty years of service through the local church. It has been used by God
in a variety of cultural contexts and churches of various sizes.
By combining the teaching of God’s Word, intentional prayer
for the lost and for the church, and a church-wide prayer and outreach strategy,
R.E.A.C.H. presents a tool worth examining. The resulting discipleship and
evangelistic opportunities can transform your church and community.
R.E.A.C.H. includes a church-growth strategy that delegates
church-wide prayer and outreach responsibilities to the Sunday School. It leads
members to be involved in outreach, Bible study, fellowship, ministry, and
discipleship.
The R.E.A.C.H. outreach plan allows for active members to make contacts
according to a flexible schedule and method. It also allows for the coordination
of outreach to entire families with teams from various age groups working
together. It encourages family discipleship experiences as parents and children
serve to reach other families. The plan also includes all-church outreach events
to impact your entire community.
The comprehensive R.E.A.C.H. prayer strategy involves
intensive and consistent intercession for unchurched prospects, inactive
members, and active members on a weekly basis. It trains children, young people,
and adults in the ministry of prayer. The strategy is designed to enhance
corporate church prayer life as well.
If you believe God wants your church to grow and you
are seeking a plan that is biblical, proven, and can fit into your regular
weekly church programming schedule, consider R.E.A.C.H. The unsaved of your
community are waiting.
