REACH MINISTRIES MISSIONS

Hello to all our friends, family, prayer warriors, and supporters. We are thrilled to be back in Kenya! Our furlough in the U.S. was a beautiful time of rest and refreshment with our family, and we return full of joy, vision, and a fresh word from God about the harvest He has prepared for this season. Since our arrival, the Spirit has been opening doors and creating divine connections for His mighty work. Because of the way God designed REACH Ministries, it almost feels as though we never left. Our partners across Nairobi, the western regions, and the coast continue to share wonderful updates and testimonies of meaningful impact in their communities, here are a few:

Olasiti Township Junior Academy (our Maasai partners) recently completed the school water project, bringing life-giving clean water to the children in their care.

Beatrice in Mombasa is working hard to upgrade restroom facilities at Glory Christian Education Center.

GCEC Nairobi has expanded its feeding program, adding a VBS-style outreach during school break to serve children from the nearby slum.

Your Smile Our Joy Foundation has launched a training center for widows, where women can now learn business skills to support their families.

We are further committing to discipleship. Over the past three years, God has been using us to empower others, and this year, the Holy Spirit has strongly highlighted the importance of instructing pastors and church leaders on how to disciple their congregations in evangelical disciple-making. We are currently creating a training program to rapidly implement across Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, the DRC, and even reaching Pakistan.

Christmas Care Packs 2025

As the Christmas season approaches, we are once again preparing for our annual Christmas Care Pack program. Every year, thanks to your generosity, we are able to bless widows, orphans, and vulnerable families with food and essentials during this season. While many of us are busy preparing for our own Christmas celebrations, we invite you to remember those who daily struggle to provide even a single meal for their children. Your giving makes a profound difference:

$25 feeds one family, $100 feeds four families, $1,000 feeds 40 families who would otherwise go without. Your support not only provides nutritious food but also brings joy, dignity, and a tangible reminder of God’s love through the generosity of His people.

I want to ask all our friends and prayer partners to please stand with us in prayer for:

The lost and dying world. Peace of Israel. Prayer for our family. For the mission, as we enter into the 6th year as REACH Ministries. The projects & partners abroad. The newest REACH missionaries, Jim & Cleo Hughes, and their family. Pray for the new opportunities that God is bringing to expand REACH into Tanzania, Uganda, and Pakistan this next year.

May God bless and keep you until we meet face to face.

Oriti Erokamano (Thank you & goodbye)

Love,

Richard & Julie
