Reach Beyond Podcast: Stories of hope, inspiration and transformation from around the world Jon Fugler and Steve Harling

Much of Sub Saharan Africa has been reached with the gospel, but there are pockets that still lack gospel presence. We’re going to take you to two of those places in this episode.
Reach Beyond radio planter Alex Walker gives us eyewitness reports of what God is doing at new radio stations in Madagascar and Malawi. You’ll hear the stories of radically transformed lives.
Alex was part of the team that built these two stations, one as recently as November. The Lord has pulled together several churches and ministries in each of the communities to make the stations possible. After several years of prayer, effort and waiting, both of these stations went on the air and saw results right away.
God is at work and you’ll hear how.

You may never meet a Rohingya person in your lifetime, and you probably don’t even know who they are.  But God knows each one and desires that they come to know Jesus.  They are going through a crisis right now.
Travel with us 15 times zones away and hear about the Rohingya.  Hundreds of thousands have fled persecution and are living in refugee camps in Bangladesh.  This has provided opportunities for the gospel to be demonstrated and declared to the Rohingya.
Hear from three workers who returned last month from Bangladesh to provide immediate aid to the refugees and to develop plans for future outreach.  This is just the beginning of a long-term effort to bring the Good News to a people where there are only hundreds of known believers.

You’ll hear from Brad and Naomi, long-time international workers. They’ll share how God led them to respond to his call of serving and reaching people in faraway places.
When we find ourselves at a crossroads in life, how do we intentionally seek God’s direction? Brad and Naomi, as well as Reach Beyond president Steve Harling, give us insights on how to wait on God during seasons of restlessness. Learn how to discern his voice in the next step of our own journey.
You’ll enjoy hearing the stories from Brad and Naomi. Hear how God prepared them for cross-cultural work, discovering what it means to be fully reliant on God, and the importance and blessing of obedience. This is an intriguing discussion of how God helps us take the next step for whatever he calls us to do.

Ready or not, 2018 is here.  What we do with it is the important thing.  And it doesn't mean making New Year's resolutions.
In this episode, Reach Beyond president Steve Harling approaches us pastorally.  He and co-host Jon Fugler have a "fireside chat" about the importance of the Word, proper goals and even a good book to make this year stand out for you.
In his transparent way, Steve lets you into his life as he opens up about one thing in particular that he is wrestling with in looking ahead. 
Steve and Jon also zero in on the most critical issue, and that is the cause of the unreached.  It is getting harder and harder to take Jesus to those in the tough places.  Hear Steve's heart as he shares what is gripping his heart for this cause in 2018.

As we approach the Christmas season many are left with mixed emotions.  In a season of such wonderful hope the reality is that we still live in a fallen world and for many this season brings sadness.
Knowing this, it’s even more important to let our light shine especially bright to show God’s wonderful hope.
During the podcast Steve Harling shares about a dark time in his life and how he got through it.
