Reaching Bhutan
- 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 nationals and come alongside Christian leaders.
- Note: ReachGlobal does not have resident staff in all countries. In some countries, we work alongside national partners and other partnering organizations.
