What is the Vision, Goal, and Purpose Statement for R.E.A.C.H. Evangelism Strategies?

Simple: The vision and purpose of this ministry is to engage pastors and church members to carry out the Great Commission of our Lord Jesus Christ, challenging them to “Go to all nations…,” and “proclaim” the gospel message to their lost and non-churched circle of influence (family, friends, work associates, neighbors, etc.), and serve together with a team of like-minded believers who work in conjunction for the same goal of seeing lost people saved! The central goal for R.E.A.C.H. Evangelistic Strategies is to enlist and implement this strategic evangelistic ministry into 10,000+ evangelical churches in the next five years throughout America!

What is REACH?

ABOUT

The word “REACH” is actually an acronym that means, Relational Evangelism And Cultivational Hospitality.  This evangelistic strategy utilizes a “team approach,” and implements three basic and proven methods of effective evangelism; intentional, relational, and servant models. Believers learn how to…

  • Establish and maintain evangelistic “relationships” with the lost and non-churched by learning how to embrace others with authentic, evangelistic friendships and the Gospel message of Jesus Christ.
  • Learn simply methods of sharing a precise Gospel presentation that even a child could understand, including the simple method of one’s testimonial.
  • Work with an assigned team of other believers (usually consist of 6 people), performing periodic community acts of hospitality, and hosting monthly outreach socials and fellowships. These systematic acts serve to develop evangelistic encounters with the unchurched, provide genuine opportunities of sharing one’s faith, and show the love of Jesus to a lost world.
  • The “Team Approach” helps to build accountability, consistency, support, encouragement, and confidence among all the participants!

What benefits are there in a “Team Approach” to evangelism?

As a pastor for 42 years, I’ve noticed that most church members are literally terrified of the responsibility and task of soul-winning, especially when they are one-on-one with a non-believer. There are many reasons for the “fear factor” in personal soul-winning, and I discuss several of those in this strategic seminar. Why do I believe the team approach is more successful when it comes to witnessing? Several reasons exist, and again, I will discuss all these benefits in the seminar. However, I’ve discovered that the primary reason team evangelism (or small groups) works effectively is because it takes the undo pressure off of one person to produce all the results! 


Before I designed this strategy, I was a frustrated pastor when it came to maintaining an active evangelism ministry in my church. We were growing as a church, and people were getting saved, but we had mediocre (at best) soul-winning participation from the church. At that time our church was hosting a weekly visitation effort, and I would say we had less than 5% churchwide participation at best. But the one thing that our people did extremely well was socialize and fellowship. Bible study groups, Sunday School classes, our Ladies ministry, noticed something wonderful developing throughout all of these groups; they all invited guests, especially non-church members, and unsaved people. Our church family was not intimidated or hindered to bring the lost and non-churched to small group encounters!


That’s when I began to contemplate the idea of small group, or team efforts of evangelism. I thought, “Why not put together a small group of church members to work within that group with the sole purpose of establishing and cultivating meaningful relationships with their lost and non-churched family, friends and neighbors?” Needless to say, that led to the beginning of the REACH Team evangelism strategy! People loved working together, felt at ease with the small group encounter, and actually felt more comfortable sharing the gospel along with can say with complete honesty and confidence, team evangelism works!

Suggested Ordering for Churches:

(based on church average worship attendance)


Your church’s goal should be set at 10-20% participation by your attendees. Be optimistic, but realistic when it comes to church member participation. If you’re averaging 10-20% of your average worship attendance you are achieving a tremendous success!! 


That’s why we make the following recommendations…

  • 1-150 people in attendance equates to 1-6 teams
  • 151-250 people in attendance equates to 7-15 teams

Program Testimonials

Daniel Wilson
"I’ve often said that evangelism runs on the rails of relationships. In REACH, A Team Approach to Evangelism and Assimilation, Scott Wilkins recognizes the great importance of cultivating relationships with unbelievers as a natural avenue to for sharing Jesus. Through this strategy, your church will be better equipped to build relationships in the community, and invite them into a growing relationship with Christ and the church."

Daniel Wilson - Evangelism Director, Alabama State Board of Missions

Dr. R. Albert Mohler
"Scott Wilkins is a committed and seasoned pastor with a true vision for evangelism and the ability to mobilize laypersons to reach persons for Christ and bring them into the full life of the church. We should celebrate the publication of this book and hope that it gets into the hands of every evangelical pastor."

Dr. R. Albert Mohler - President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, KY

Dr. Malcom McDow
"Looking for something that works in personal evangelism? REACH is that process for which you are looking. The concepts of REACH are tried and proven in reaching the people in our society. This process is incarnational and biblical. You will be glad that you implemented REACH."

Dr. Malcom McDow - Retired Professor of Evangelism and Church Growth, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, TX

Dr. David Wheeler
"Finally, an easy-to-understand model for strategic evangelism that will fit any congregation. REACH is biblically based and evangelistically driven with the ultimate goal of impacting the unsaved world. Most importantly, Dr. Wilkins didn't formulate REACH in a classroom far away from the daily challenges of genuine ministry. On the contrary, REACH gew out of real-world experiences and frustrations combined with a pastor's heartfelt desire to reach his community for Christ. I am impressed with the results."

Dr. David Wheeler - Professor of Evangelism and Church Growth, Liberty University, Lynchburg, VA

Dr. Ronnie Floyd
"If we do not determine to do evangelism in a more compelling way, we will lose America. Evangelism is about relationships and earning the right with your community to share Christ. In Scott Wilkin's book, REACH, he has provided a strategy for Christians to embrace worldwide that will open doors into the hearts of the unchurched and the hearts of the post-Christian culture. This book not only equips you with thoughts about what to do, but provides you ways to do it! Implement the heart of this book and your unchurched world will be come smaller."

Dr. Ronnie Floyd - Former Pastor, President of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Chief Executive Director of the Executive Committee of the SBC

Dr. Tom Chayney
"Significant! REACH has been birthed out of a great sense of the need in the evangelical church. Scott Wilkins has written the new standard in evangelism for the outreach-minded church. The book is jammed full with practical helps of how to do evangelism in the local church. It is realistic. It is easy to follow. Most importantly, it is something every chruch can do with even a handful of committed people. Full of 'how-to,' and ;why-to,' all that is missing is the want to. Add that and watch your church grow. This is a must strategy for pastors and churches desiring to lead their community to Christ. REACH is loaded with practical, yet professional insights. This work forces us to rethink how we approach evangelism in the local church and gives us both practical and evangelistic methodologies for achieving victory. Evangelism is attainable."

Dr. Tom Chayney - Associational Missionary, GOBA, Orlando, FL, and founder of the national church revitalization conference, "Renovate."

Dr. James Merritt
"Scott Wilkins has done the church of the Lord Jesus Christ a tremendous service by writing this book and developing this strategy on personal and church evangelism! There must be a twenty-first-century strategy for reaching the twenty-first-century unchurched people. In this book, a strategy that will be tremendously effective has been laid out. This book pulsates with the heartbeat of a man who wants to enable the church to be as effective as it can be in carrying out the Great Commission. In my opinion, Scott has succeeded beyond perhaps his won wildest imagination."

Dr. James Merritt - Former President of the Southern Baptist Convention, and Senior Pastor of Cross Pointe Church, Duluth, GA
