As I reflect over a year that has now definitely become a meme like no other, I am thankful more than ever for the goodness and faithfulness of God. Today, my oldest daughter walked into the kitchen and played a new version of “Amazing Grace…My Chains are Gone” from her phone. Although the rendition was unique and beautiful, what captivated me was hearing the words again.
“He will my shield and portion be...”
“Portion” is a metaphor used to describe God four times in the Psalms and once in Lamentations. It anchors us in the reality of all the supernatural resources we have through Christ (God’s goodness, faithfulness, peace, eternity with God…). What joy to know that in a year of such chaos and uncertainty, His “portion” triumphs and transcends everything we might face…all our heartaches, worries, pains, sickness, brokenness, and fear...everything.
As you read through this brochure, clicking all the links, you will be reminded again of the goodness and faithfulness God has showered upon Reach Out over the last 45 years. You will also see that through the faithful giving of donors this year, we were able to continue leader training across four continents AND help meet significant humanitarian needs that surfaced due to Covid-19 impacting those we work with around the world. And, you will learn about how God is preparing us now for the future, with new partnerships and resources like our online initiative, as we continue reaching the 2.3 billion youth who don’t know Jesus.
God has used faithful partners like you to give glory to God, accomplishing His purposes through the ministry of Reach Out over the last 45 years. And during that time, we have never strayed from the mission and vision of equipping leaders globally who influence the younger generation to follow Jesus. Will you partner with us by sending a sacrificial gift to ensure that this legacy of evangelism and discipleship continues for the next generation?
So they might discover His portion, His unending love, His amazing grace!
