12:00pm, December 30th at URBANA12

Interested in serving in the Muslim world? Want to know what is already going on? Join Us!

ReachAcross will be holding a seminar on 'Justice and Mercy on the Arabian Pennisula' at the URBANA12 Student Missions Conference and you're invited! Come for a brief descriptions of the work that is already going on to reach Muslims on the Arabian Pennisula and get a chance to ask questions and get answers about opportunities to serve, support and pray for these projects.

The seminar 'Justice and Mercy on the Arabian Pennisula' will be held at 12:00pm on Dec. 30th at the Embassy Suites in downtown St. Louis. Space is limited to 50 guests, but if there is more interest, we will see if we can get more space. If you are planning to attend please send us a message by email (execassistant.us@ReachAcross.net), Facebook (facebook.com/reachacrossmission) or Twitter (@ReachAcross2012). Be sure to include your name and "RSVP" somewhere in the message!

The seminar will last approximately one hour. During that hour we will introduce 3 different projects and give you a chance to interact directly with people who are working with these projects right now! Here's a preview of each of them:

1. Project 41

The first initiative of P41 is designed to create a sustainable employment opportunities through a for-profit agricultural cooperative that focuses on the cultivation, production, and export of non-food biodiesel fuels. As a result of this effort, we long to see people recognize this means of meeting their practical need for employment in the midst of extreme poverty as a pure demonstration of deep love of the Father for them, and that many would come to know Him as a result. 'Dustin' and 'Lillian' will be on Skype with us giving us some of the details of how God has thus far miraculously provided for the development of this project, and what kinds of engineers and other skilled workers are needed in order to move it forward.

2. Project Love in Action

A Project Love in Action worker and his disabled friend.
Their faces are blurred to protect their identities.

An example of a ministry to the handicapped, which concluded in 2011, but remains an example of countless similar models which could be carried out, if there were personnel available to do so. The project aimed to improve the quality of life of thousands of disabled people. They are enabled to take part in rehabilitation and training where appropriate, specifically through home visits with disabled individuals. This project is staffed by nationals and expatriates, working in cooperation with existing programs and societies. 'Jonathan' and 'Rochelle' will be there in person to talk about their experiences, including the opportunities and limitations for sharing their faith in a creative access country.

3. Project Island

Remote islands are often idealized and even romanticized, and this particular island is no exception. However beneath the surface of tropical beauty and pristine beaches is the great spiritual and economic need of Muslim people. The need is great, but so are the opportunities for service and evangelism. The project will be focused primarily on providing educational opportunities in remote areas, particularly through teaching English. 'Rania' will be there to tell us about her experiences from the past year - the friends she made, and the immense possibilities for serving in this unique setting.

We hope you will join us for this unique chance to learn more about opportunities to serve in the Muslim world directly from those who are already serving. See you there!

Note: you may have noticed that the names of people who are working for these projects are placed in quotes (e.g. 'Dustin'). Because the success of these projects depends on cooperation with local agencies in the countries where we operate and acceptance by the local community, we don't want to jeopardize the safety of our personnel, the safety of believers in the countries we work in, or the success of our outreach efforts by divulging their full names publicly over the internet or in print. Thank you for understanding.
