Our History

A passion for the unreached.

“They are too difficult!” That is what our founder was told when he was asked why Muslims bordering the Red Sea region were neglected.

In the early 1940’s he obeyed God’s call to work among them. Others caught the vision and by 1952 a small team of dedicated people had become what is now known as ReachAcross. Even from these earliest days ReachAcross made a bold proclamation of faith that Muslims everywhere would hear the Gospel.

The main focus of ReachAcross is sharing the Gospel, often done in the context of providing practical help.

Our motto is ‘Helping Muslims Follow Jesus’.

Our vision is to see Muslims throughout the world becoming devoted followers of Jesus Christ. God has given us the immense privilege of working together with Him in this task, and in serving Muslims in many practical ways.
