We are empowering
Christ's messengers to take the gospel to the world

New salvation decisions are recorded in
triplicate and a copy is given to the local church for follow
up. |
What We Do
We are proclaiming the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the
most people, as quickly as possible, and using the most
efficient methods available.
How We Do It
Leadership Development
Institute | This ministry grew out of the
vision of II Timothy 2:2. Our goal is to train faithful
men who will go out and train others. We believe it will
be Africans that reach Africa for Christ, Indians for
India, and so on. Through Leadership Development
Institutes we train native pastors and evangelists to
reach their home nations with the Gospel.
I.A.M. | I.A.M. is
the acronym for International African Ministries and
International Asian Ministries. Through the I.A.M., Reaching Souls
supports native pastors and evangelists serving as
national missionaries. We support a group of faithful
men on a full time basis, empowering them to be His
messengers to their own people. Our mission field has
become our mission force!
Our goal is to bring as many as possible to the saving
knowledge of Christ through the most efficient means
available.
In 2006 Reaching Souls’s donation
income totaled $1,546,212. During that period of time
606,520 people came to know the Lord through the
ministries of Reaching Souls. Reaching Souls was
founded on a unique vision from the Lord that allows us
to spread the Word of God to a massive amount of people,
with the greatest effect and efficiency possible.
Reaching Souls’s vision eliminates travel barriers, cultural
barriers, and language barriers. It is economical, time
saving and has proven to be an incredibly successful
method of reaching the lost.
From the very beginning Reaching Souls sought to train natives to
minister to the lost of their native land. We believe
that nobody can reach a people group for Christ more
effectively and efficiently than those already from that
people group. By putting this vision into action, Reaching Souls
has developed a level of impact and influence that could
have never been accomplished through traditional methods
of mission work.
Reaching Souls is currently poised to take advantage of the most
incredible opportunities in the history of this
ministry. New countries and continents are opening up in
a miraculous fashion, and Reaching Souls is taking advantage of
these opportunities just as quickly as the Lord makes
provision through our ministry supporters.
Children In Need |
Reaching Souls is forming families by placing orphans in the homes
of native church members who are led by native
evangelists supported by you through Reaching Souls. We purchase
enough food to feed the orphan and his or her entire
“adopted” family, and thereby make the orphan an asset
to the family.
Reaching Souls has been preparing itself for this very time in
history. The harvest is now.
Method | The ministry of Reaching Souls is unique in
evangelical mission work today. Our vision is to raise
up a

generation of national missionaries in the world’s
most densely populated areas. These men would then
evangelize to their own countries, then the continent and
eventually the entire world. The vision is coming to
fruition. The next few years will be crucial as we
train, equip, and send more national missionaries into
the field than ever before.
After 20 years of major
training and evangelism projects in Africa and India,
God has led us to 409 faithful men who are now supported
full time as our IAM evangelists and church planters in
7 African nations and in India.
Efficiency |
If you divide the total income of the ministry over the
past 5 years by the number of registered salvation
decisions made during the same time span, you will find
that the average amount expended to register the
salvation of one precious soul has been $1.14.
And even more miraculous
is the reality that these numbers also include the cost
of all training institutes, travel expenses, Children In
Need, all salaries of all Reaching Souls and IAM personnel, and
all office operations in the U.S. and abroad!
The people of Africa need
to hear the good news of Jesus Christ today. AIDS and
malaria will kill over 11,000 Africans in Sub-Sahara
Africa today. Over 4 million will die of these diseases
in this region over the next year. The average life
expectancy in the African nations where we work is just
41 years of age. Bringing the Gospel to these people is
an urgent matter.
This is a pivotal time in the history of the world, and
as a result, it is a pivotal time for you and Reaching Souls as
well. Opportunities are opening up all across the world
for the unique ministry and vision we offer. Expansion
will continue this year as we enter Rwanda and the
Democratic Republic of Congo. These are two nations that
have been closed by civil war for decades. There are
opportunities in South America, Asia and other parts of
Africa that are just waiting for the ministry of Reaching Souls.
This vision is in place. The tools have been set in
motion. The results are staggering. The Lord is moving
through the ministry of Reaching Souls.
