Years ago, I remember my father, Reach A Village founder and president Bob Craft, telling me incredible stories of his ministry efforts in Southeast Asia. His approach to listening and working alongside national leaders with a passion for reaching their nations resulted in great success.
I did not expect to be involved in international ministry as an adult, but the Lord was working in my heart from an early age. Growing up as a Missionary kid in Thailand and the Philippines, I have always loved Southeast Asia. Soon after graduating from high school in the Philippines, I began studying at Moody Bible Institute and later at Moody Theological Seminary.
As Reach A Village grew, my father needed to step into more executive duties. God’s timing was perfect in that I could step into ministry and get to know the phenomenal partners we serve on the field. It has been a role that I have cherished, and with people for whom I have immense respect and love.
I’m thrilled to use this opportunity to introduce you to our dear partners and help you understand more about their ministries across the seven nations we serve in this region. These leaders and their teams are extraordinary, passionate, and committed to the cause of Christ.
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer and financial support. I’d like to close by echoing the words of Paul from Philippians 1:3-5, “I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now.” God bless you!
In His Service,
Ellis Craft
VP of International Ministry
