Journey Overview
Do you hunger for more of God and desire to be used and grow in your giftings, for His glory? At REACH you will experience how God calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things as you step out in faith and grow in your relationship with the Lord and experience being His hands and feet to the nations. All instruction will be taught in English (with translation to Romanian, or vice-versa). REACH in Moldova is an intensive discipleship training program aimed at equipping you for a missional life which makes disciples of others, wherever God calls you. We focus on growing you in your journey as a disciple through four key areas: cross-cultural community life and adventure, one-on-one mentoring and discipleship, spiritual growth and leadership development, and practical experience of missions and evangelism. We aim to prepare you, equip you and expand your world view as you discover all that God has prepared in advance for you to do!
