ReachAcross Canada strives to not only share the Gospel, but to also serve Muslim communities in practical ways both in Canada and around the globe. Below are some of the projects we’re devoted to in order to accomplish our mission.
Yemeni Aid
Yemen has been suffering displacement, disease, and starvation ever since the onset of its civil war in 2015. Join us as we partner with local Christians to provide aid.
The COVID pandemic has plunged much of Pakistan into an economic crises. Join us in bringing relief in the form of food and supplies to local Pakistani Christians.
For 40 years now we have served the Sahel region of West Africa establishing trust and partnerships with both Christians and Muslims in the region. Join us in being the hands and feet of Jesus to local families suffering from famine and drought.
The local church in the Middle East and Africa continues to be the focal point for providing relief to those fleeing war-torn homelands. Helping Hands supports church-based ministry to provide medical support to refugees fleeing war and poverty.
Help to build, equip and support a new school attached to a small church in a predominantly Muslim country in West Africa. The school will serve both Christian and Muslim children.
Help to encourage, equip and support our mission partners in running a well-established language centre, providing educational programs and facilities in a predominantly Muslim country in East Africa.
Support workers who are providing on-line discipleship and evangelistic outreach several times a week to Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and other global regions.
This fund will be used for providing practical solutions for resale (such as training in sewing, cooking, crafts, etc) to help widows and women who have no methods of providing income for their families.
Help to share the gospel and nurture new believers among Persian-speaking Muslims – mostly Iranian, Afghan and Tajik refugees, in a country to which many such refugees have fled or travelled in recent years.
ReachAcross has served in Yemen for nearly 70 years, sending some of our earliest missionary pioneers, followed by a constant stream of mission workers right up until today. However, we are living in the most challenging of times. Most missionaries have had to leave the country as war and violence continues to affect all major cities – from Hudaidah, to Sanaa, to Aden, and beyond. The country is in major crisis, with hundreds of thousands affected by Cholera, millions by food shortages or malnutrition, with everywhere experiencing a lack of medical supplies. Then there is the continuing aerial bombardment from hostile forces. More than 10,000 Yemeni civilians have been killed due to military action since the current hostilities began in 2015.
ReachAcross is partnering with trusted local Yemeni Christians to provide relief for the practical and medical needs of the Yemeni church, and through them to their local Muslim communities also. There are huge needs and it is our hope and prayer that a large number of those who need help the most will benefit from this project, encouraging the local church members through receiving practical care, and enabling them to be a blessing to their Muslim family members, neighbours and friends as they help meet their needs too.
One of our Canadian workers is connected with a church in Karachi, Pakistan. Because of Covid 19, many residents in the area cannot not work. Due to the pandemic, there are many store closures and residents are finding it difficult to find food for their families.
The local church is trying to provide as many food parcels to the local families as they can in order to not only meet their physical needs, but also have the opportunity to help fulfill their spiritual needs through prayer and Christian literature. ReachAcross is accepting donations to assist the church in providing much needed food to their area.
Our mission has served in a country of the Sahel in West Africa for nearly 40 years. The population is dependent on rains for a good harvest. When the rains have failed ReachAcross has supplied food aid to local Christians for their families and to distribute to needy Muslim neighbours. This practical demonstration of love towards neighbour can be a powerful witness to the gospel.
In 2018 ReachAcross charities worldwide raised over $24,000 for famine relief. It was used to give food aid to several remote villages, through a pastor and our Bible translators.
This year ReachAcross would like to build up a contingency fund so we can respond quickly to the almost inevitable next drought.
If this project becomes fully funded, any excess donations may be used towards another ReachAcross project or where needed most.
Help ReachAcross as we work with local Christians to provide a church-based ministry which cares for the medical and practical needs of Arab Muslims who have sought refuge and medical help having left their war-torn homeland in the region. In doing so, the men, women and children who benefit from the project not only experience the love of Christ through receiving practical care but are brought into an environment where they can hear the gospel, so often for the very first time.
This is an ongoing ReachAcross project. If this project becomes fully funded, ReachAcross will use the donations raised towards other ReachAcross projects or where needed most.
Help to build, equip and support a new school attached to a small church in a predominantly Muslim country in West Africa. The school will serve both Christian and Muslim children in a location where currently the school/kindergarten classes are in ‘rooms’ made of woven rushes. The project will provide well shaded and ventilated classrooms, but the new building will also protect the children from seasonal heavy rains and provide more space per child. The project will help the local church to provide education for many children in the neighbourhood. This will help build relationship with parents and will also give opportunity for both children and their parents to hear the gospel due to their interaction with the teachers and staff who will be Christian.
This is an ongoing ReachAcross project.
If this project becomes fully funded ReachAcross will use the donations raised towards other ReachAcross projects or where needed most
Help to encourage, equip and support our mission partners in running a well-established language centre, providing educational programs and facilities in a predominantly Muslim country in East Africa. Local Muslims are given access to secular and Christian resources in local languages, as well as having the opportunity to learn English as a second language.
This project not only helps people come out of poverty through education but gives people the opportunity to hear the gospel and ask questions about the Christian faith.
If this project becomes fully funded, any excess donations will be used towards another ReachAcross project or where needed most
Help to encourage, equip and support ReachAcross in running a Children’s literacy project based in a predominantly Muslim country in East Africa. Children have access to resources in local languages and also have the opportunity to hear the gospel.
This is an ongoing ReachAcross project.
If this project becomes fully funded ReachAcross will use the donations raised towards other ReachAcross projects or where needed most.
You can give to help ReachAcross mobilize mission workers into various fields across North Africa, the Middle East, Central and South Asia. This is an ongoing ReachAcross project. The need for more workers cannot be over-emphasised. Millions of Muslims have never met a Christian nor heard the gospel.
Mobilization includes speaking at churches, exhibiting at Christian conferences, advertising in the Christian media, developing prayer resources and literature, and one-to-one contact with enquirers. This is an ongoing project of ReachAcross. If this project becomes fully funded ReachAcross will use the donations raised towards other ReachAcross projects or where needed most.
In Canada, we have workers who are providing on-line discipleship and evangelistic outreach, several times a week, to Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and other worldwide regions. Several Muslims each year have accepted Christ through these programs. Updated computers, software, materials, etc are needed to expand this ministry.
This project is designed to provide hope for those in desperate and helpless situations. This fund will be used for providing practical solutions for resale (such as training in sewing, cooking, crafts, etc) to help widows and women who have no methods of providing income for their families. This fund will also be used to enhance and encourage local orphanages by providing food, housing upgrades, and teaching materials. This is an ongoing ReachAcross work.
Help to share the gospel and nurture new believers among Persian-speaking Muslims – mostly Iranian, Afghan and Tajik refugees, in a country to which many such refugees have fled or travelled in recent years. ReachAcross is partnering to assist online church services, Bible studies and discipleship classes, and visit ‘house churches’ to train, support and strengthen them.
Conferences are also held for church leaders, including from neighbouring countries, for teaching and leadership training. If this project becomes fully funded ReachAcross will use the donations raised towards other ReachAcross projects or where needed most.
Donors may direct their contribution to the project/ministry that they wish to support by including a note with their donations or by contacting the ReachAcross office by telephone at (604) 596-7937
