REACH

While Derek has been teaching in Cape Town I had the privilege of teaching a group of students from the REACH program of Reaching a Generation. The REACH program has been designed to equip people with skills for evangelism, counseling, and establishing their own community development programs while partnering with local churches. The program is directed by a friend of ours who asked that we teach the Foundations course so that she can be certain that a solid, Biblical foundation has been laid in the lives of the students. I got to spend about 10 days teaching this group and had a wonderful time. They were some of the loveliest people I have ever met and it was blessing to be with them. On the last day, one of the students said, "Imagine if this Foundations course was taught in every church in Africa. What a difference it would make for the lives of Christians." I wanted to shout "Hallelujah, that's the plan."
