PURPOSE & DESCRIPTION
REACH is a gathering of Christian workers from all walks of life. Farmers, businessmen, and young men and women share the vision and link arms with missionaries in Belize, food distributors in the Ukraine, school teachers in city missions, teachers and students in Bible institutions, chiefs in boys’ camps, and producers and distributors of Christian literature. We are praying that this gathering of people - and the resulting outflow of ministry - will bring glory to God and see the furtherance of His purposes for our time.

Remember the prisoners, as though you were in prison with them, and the mistreated, as though you yourselves were suffering bodily. -Heb. 13:3
At the first two events in 2013 and 2015 there were many more people who wished to attend than what capacity allowed.
So we decided to increase capacity in 2017 by changing venues. The 2017 venue can handle about 1000 more people.
If we reach full capacity, this will probably be the largest gathering of conservative Anabaptists in recent times that is not hosted by one particular constituency. (The German Baptists regularly host annual conferences that well exceed 2200.)

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"
These types of gatherings are very encouraging. If I were an Anabaptist I would attend every single one. Perhaps I'll sneak in and listen.

Josh wrote:I wish either this or Rosedale's REACH would consider a name change.
Your request is legitimate.
However, there is so little overlap between the moderate conservatives and the theological conservatives, that most are not even aware of the other's programs. Because of this, I don't expect either to feel the need to change their name.
