Reach the Rest is an organization, there’s several in the world, but their goal is to get the gospel to unreached and unengaged people groups. Unengaged, I think means that they don’t have a church, a place where they can worship or a established place. People respond better to someone from their own culture and own language telling them the gospel than someone from another culture. In a lot of these countries, they see the Christian Church in the English language coming to them as part of the oppressiveness of colonization. So, even though the gospel had gone in and it’s gone into a lot of places, it kind of stays on the edges and it doesn’t go into the country.
In order for the gospel to go forward the way that we want it to, we need to be reaching the people and not changing the people to look like us.

They do like disciple Bible method, which is where they teach the ones that know how to read how to take a scripture and read it and ask questions and kind of understand. And then another part of the step was understanding the four fields and the methods that they use are scriptural, they’re kind of like what Paul did whenever he would go out and he would seek a person of peace, and then he would find the people and he would talk and teach, and then people would come, and then those that would come to faith and then they would grow. You’re seeing that it’s growing, like the whole movement in Iran, I mean, who did that? Only God could do that. It just seemed to Greg and me, that was worth our time and our money. The privilege of telling people about Jesus is the biggest joy a person can have.
