Reaching Souls International
Based in Oklahoma City, OK, Reaching Souls International is a Christian faith-based, 501(c)(3) non-profit organization providing leadership training, financial support, and accountability to empower local pastors and evangelists to reach their home communities with the Gospel. While there is much to be done in the world, our mission is simple: we exist to reach the maximum number of people for Christ in the least amount of time and in the most efficient way. First and foremost, we are a ministry that continually seeks God's will through prayer and discernment. When it comes to reaching people for Christ, there is literally no time to waste, so we work strategically and swiftly. By partnering with local leaders, who are relationally connected to their community is not only the most effective way to share the Gospel, but it's also the most affordable. This is strategic evangelism. Our National Missionaries are not only equipped with the local language but the cultural and spiritual context of their communities, providing strong foundations for evangelism and discipleship to take root. Discipling the next generation of evangelists is paramount to our mission. 2 Timothy 2:2 reminds us that both discipleship and evangelism are keys to advancing the kingdom.
