Reaching Bangladesh
- ReachGlobal views a variety of different platforms (business, community development, education, technical and professional skills, and others) as means to open doors to ministry in countries that are not open to gospel witness. Stable platforms provide legitimacy in the eyes of local governments and an opportunity for staff to build relationships with national church leaders.
- Note: ReachGlobal does not have resident staff in all countries. Inrestrictive access countries, ReachGlobal enters with legitimate business and community development platforms.
