"And His name will be the hope of all the world." -Matthew 12:21
If there was ever a time in history when people needed hope, today is that time. As followers of Jesus, we know that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for our world.
Each day, the faithful ministry partners of Reach A Village serve as instruments of hope in our sin-plagued world. On their behalf, we say thank you for supporting them with your prayers and financial gifts.
Attached for your review, prayer focus and praise to God is Reach A Village’s 2024Annual Report. This report includes updates about ministry in Myanmar, Thailand and Ukraine; financial information; 2024 ministry results; information about estate giving; and so much more.
In 2024, the ministry partners of Reach A Village reported 162,417 new believers! They established 2,607 new churches. To God be the glory!
Testimonies about the Gospel’s power from Christ-followers in China, Albania, Serbia, the Philippines, Poland, Ukraine and Russia are the heart of this Annual Report. You are sure to be captured by the hope of Jesus shared in each story.
Let’s celebrate the renewed hope that is entering our world through Jesus. As we thank God for the many blessings of 2024, together we look forward to what God will do through this ministry in 2025 and beyond. Thank you for helping take the hope of the Gospel into the world!
I have always been amazed by the faithful response of Simon and Andrew, fishermen working on the Sea of Galilee, when Jesus called them to follow Him. And I continue to be amazed by how God is working through Reach A Village’s ministry partners worldwide to call more people to follow Jesus.
Below is Reach A Village’s 2023 Annual Report, showing many examples of God’s response to our faithful ministry for Him. This report includes:
- updates about “The World’s Greatest Rescue Mission,” our new children’s curriculum
- glimpses of ministry successes in many of the country’s where we serve
- news from our ministry partners in Ukraine
- celebrations of more baptisms in Thailand
- and so much more!
You will also find in this report testimonies from those who responded to the “fishing” efforts of local believers as they visited villages and shared the Gospel in 2023. People like:
- Armen, who met Jesus because he wanted a bicycle in Armenia
- Jakub, who found Jesus inside a prison in Poland
- Asen and Milka, who shared the Gospel with Vasil just before he died in Bulgaria
Thank you for partnering with us as together we respond to Jesus’ call: living as fishers of people — men, women and children — by openly sharing the Gospel and bringing others closer to Him. Be assured that your gifts and prayers are truly making a difference in our world.
With much gratitude,
Bob Craft

Since Reach A Village began ministry in 2012, we have seen many changes and challenges in our world. The internet has enabled us to be aware of world events almost instantly. These events often impact Gospel ministry efforts in the countries involved. Wars, pandemics, terrorist attacks and violence have dominated the headlines.
Take heart! The Gospel is still victorious and still going forth into the unreached villages of the world.
Attached for your review is the 2022 Annual Report of Reach A Village. As you read its pages, we trust you will be informed, inspired and encouraged to find out what your partnership in the Gospel is doing around the world. You will find
- testimonies of people changed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ
- updates on ministry in war-torn areas of our world
- faithful servants who keep this ministry alive
- ministry results for the past 10 years
- and so much more!
To paraphrase the Apostle Paul’s words in Philippians 1:3–5, we thank God for you and your partnership with Reach A Village. From your first gift to your receiving this report now, we are confident that God is carrying to completion the good work He began in you. Part of that work is our partnership with you in sharing the Gospel worldwide.
With a grateful heart,

Since the publishing of this report, Mikhail "Misha" Igorevich has gone to join his precious Savior. Misha was on the cover, and some of his story is shared on pages 8-10. Though we are deeply saddened that his earthly life has come to an end, we are incredibly grateful for his life and many years of faithful service to the Lord. Please pray for his family, friends and ministry partners.
We have the opportunity to see and celebrate God’s miracles in the midst of the chaos of our current world situation! Yet our times are not unlike those of Apostle Paul and the other new believers when the Church began.
God called them to go to new places. They often left behind loved ones to boldly share their faith with people who needed to hear about Jesus. God calls our ministry partners to do the same. This year, they faced extraordinary challenges, but remained faithful and celebrated extraordinary victories. I’m sure Paul and his ministry team would be able to relate.
In the pages of Reach A Village’s 2021 Annual Report, you will find testimonies, ministry results and so much more to confirm the miracles of faith that are happening worldwide. You will hear about:
- Sister Jocelyn, an extraordinary woman fulfilling an extraordinary call, who continued her outreach to children and families through Values Education in the Philippines
- Hundreds of new believers who were baptized in a one-day baptism event in Thailand, setting a new record for that country
- Incredible ministry results from around the globe, including 1,866 new churches started and 95,649 new believers in Jesus Christ
We thank the Lord for the commitment of our ministry partners around the world. We also thank you for your faithful commitment to God and this ministry.
Continuing God's Kingdom work,
Robert Craft
Founder and President
We made it to the end of 2020! Many of the most positive, life-changing milestones of this year won’t be recorded for future generations. That is one reason we feel compelled to share victories for God’s Kingdom with you in Reach A Village’s 2020 annual report.
This year had the potential for spiritual and economic defeat like we have never seen before. But thanks to your gifts and prayers, Reach A Village raised more funds than in any previous year. Although the pandemic caused even more funding requests from the field, your faithfulness has truly blessed our courageous ministry partners with their most critical needs.
Their ministry in 2020 alone resulted in:
- 294,589 believers who came to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
- 1,747 house churches where new believers gathered for worship and encouragement.
- 1,276,815 Scriptures provided, which includes Bibles, New Testaments, Study Bibles, children’s materials and Scripture portions.
Even in the midst of a pandemic, our ministry partners faithfully persevered. As you see the Gospel’s impact in this 2020 annual report, open your heart to hear the voice of Jesus saying:
“With man this is impossible,
but with God all things are possible.”
Matthew 19:26
Serving Christ Together,
Robert Craft
