The R.E.A.C.H. of ReachLife
ReachLife Ministries exists to help bridge the gap between biblical truth and the urban context.
With the platform God has given us through the music of Reach
Records, it became apparent that ministry leaders were in need of
resources beyond a CD. Leaders would continually ask us if we had
anything other resources they could use after the concert was over.
Unfortunately, there is a lack of sound resources available to
ministry leaders in this environment. It is a huge challenge to find
resources that are both biblically sound and that speak to the urban
context. For many of these leaders, our music was the first time they
saw those two areas merged, and it became evident that more resources
needed to be developed.
Because of this need, we feel a burden to go beyond just CD’s and
concerts. We want to use the platform we’ve been given by God to spark a
movement of believers that are committed to seeing the gospel saturated
in all areas of their life. We are a ministry in its infancy with a
commitment to bridging the gap between biblical truth and the urban
context.
God has given us a platform through music, and we want to steward
this platform in such a way that impact will last long after the music
fades away. We are passionate about seeing the urban church
strengthened, and therefore seek to be a trusted resource for the
equipping of urban leaders.
The strategy for fulfilling our mission is described in one word,
R.E.A.C.H.
R- Resources. We have developed (and are developing)
Bible-centered resources that communicate biblical truth in the heart
language of the urban context. It is our desire to see churches purchase
our curriculum in bulk (at discounted prices) and use them as tools of
evangelism and discipleship. Please click

to view our curriculum catalog and prayerfully consider implementing
them in your bible study, church, small group, Sunday school or youth
group.
E- Events. We are introducing and unpacking our resources
before our supporters in two ways; ReachLife Institutes and the
Unashamed Conference.
- The ReachLife institutes are one day intensives that take place in
cities across the USA that include times of teaching and end with a
concert featuring Reach artists and special guests. Please click here to read an event review on our Institute in Orlando.
- The Unashamed Conference is a global call for the Unashamed to
gather for 3 days in Atlanta, GA. During our time together our
supporters will be confronted with life changing teaching from leaders
within our movement such as; Francis Chan, Lecrae, John O., D.A. Horton, Eric Mason, Trip Lee,
and others. Our time together will have a balance of concerts and
content that will energize, equip and commission our attendee’s to live
out Gospel-centered lives in their respected cities.
A- Academics. We are in the process of building partnerships
with Colleges, Seminaries, and Universities that believe in the mission
of ReachLife. These partnerships will allow supporters of ReachLife a
way to earn degree seeking credit when they finishing going through our
resources and attend our events. Our heart in doing this is to ensure a
pathway for minorities to be given equal opportunity for leadership
development that allows them to serve both inside and outside of the
church.
C- Churches. We are focusing much of our attention towards
building a global network of healthy churches in the urban context.
ReachLife is a para-church organization that has been set up to champion
the local church. The churches in our network will be those we
recommend to supporters who are looking for churches that are biblical
sound and contextually urban. If your church would like to consider
being apart of our network please email us directly at
toi@reachlife.org and request our “Network Packet”.
H- Helps. We are in the process of creating a catalogue of
partnering organizations that are set up to both create opportunities
and mobilize saints to engage with urban missions work. If your
organization would like to consider being apart of our network please
emails us
info@reachlife.org
Lastly, ReachLife is funded by two sources of income; our donors and
those who purchase our curriculum. We are asking our supporters to
prayerfully consider giving monthly to help us develop and distribute
new resources, weekly podcasts, and future ReachLife events. If you
