Stories of Transformation through Christ!

More than one million villages still have not heard the Gospel. You can help us reach as many as possible. People, just like these, are waiting to be transformed by Christ.

Every village that is reached results in amazing stories of transformation through the power of Jesus Christ. These are real stories of real people.  

 

Travel in Bulgaria can be challenging, especially during the hot, dry days of summer. Two of Reach A Village’s ministry partners there are committed to doing an annual summer visiting tour around the country. They take time to meet with and encourage local ministry leaders who are sharing the Gospel in remote villages.

During one of their visits in summer 2021, they met *Blagoy who leads teams of local believers as they tell others about Jesus. Blagoy asked them to go with him on a special visit while they were there.

On a beautiful Saturday morning in 2021, a group of 100 followers of Jesus gathered in that...

As a 26-year-old wife and mother of two children, Susie often looks back over her life and thinks about the choices she has made. Like many of us, she realizes that some were helpful, and some made her life more difficult.

In her teen years, Susie’s friends invited her to attend a program, led by our ministry partners, especially for teenagers at a church in their village. “I remember that the program was called ‘Choose Life,’” she says. “My friends and I learned the Ten Commandments.
