2007 Reach Locations

United States
The United States of America is a land with a rich spiritual heritage that is steadily being eroded. Although 86.5% of the USA’s population professes Christianity, many people only know about God but do not know Him personally. This team will spend approximately half of their outreach in St. Louis working with World Impact, an organization that focuses on ministering to the inner city poor. They will spend the rest of their outreach touring as a ministry team encouraging churches and youth groups through drama and music.

Morocco
Moroccans have a pride in their country as a center for Islamic learning and heritage, and those convert to Christianity are often persecuted for their faith. Only about 5% of Moroccans have ever met a Christian or heard the gospel. This team will spend the first part of outreach in language school building relationships with the local people. The majority of outreach will be spent working at an orphanage.

Southern Spain
Although the majority of Spain is Roman Catholic, many Muslims populate southern Spain. This team will possibly work with the local church in reaching out to immigrant workers. They will also focus on developing friendships with the locals and spend time in language school.

South Africa
Over 20% of South Africa’s adult population is HIV positive and more than 420,000 children have been orphaned due to AIDS just in 2000. The Gospel has been mixed with ancestral worship and other non-Biblical practices producing a false perception of God. The Christian church is racially divided, but God is restoring hope through a new generation of South Africans who are hungry to know more about Jesus and the Bible. Opportunities for this team may include street evangelism, drama, relationship building and outreach to the AIDS community.

India
Nearly 16% of the world’s population is Indian and lives on 2.4% of the world’s land surface. In India, over 600 million people live in deep poverty, and 300 million live below the bread-line. Eighty-two percent of the Indian population is Hindu. This team will be working alongside a local ministry. Some ministry opportunities may include teaching English as a second language, both rural and urban evangelism, prison ministries, manual labor projects, and one-on-one relationship building with the Hindu people.

Thailand
Thailand is a Buddhist country with no true understanding of God. Although the people are friendly, it is very difficult to present the gospel clearly in a culturally relevant way.

Indonesia
Indonesia is the largest Muslim country in the world, yet people are coming to Christ in huge numbers including atleast 30% of Indonesia’s 1.5 million student population. In addition to language study, this team will work with the local school and church and will focus on building relationships with the local people–especially with young adults and children. Many spiritual strongholds exist in the city where the team will be living; therefore, the team will be spending much time in intercession and prayer walking.
