ABOUT REACH BEYOND

Reach Beyond is a Christian charity focused on being the voice and hands of Jesus in the world. Our vision is that unreached people everywhere will hear about Jesus, see him in action and learn how to follow him.  

We serve with partners worldwide as the ‘voice’ of Jesus by broadcasting the gospel using modern technology. This includes planting local Christian radio stations, international broadcasting, mobile apps, social networking, new media technology, and other forms of communication to make Christ known in places where his name has seldom, if ever, been heard.

At the same time, we serve as the ‘hands’ of Jesus by establishing community-based healthcare clinics, mobile medical teams, clean water projects, and other initiatives that meet the physical and spiritual needs of people. We serve refugees overseas and in the UK and run a community centre for vulnerable people in our building in inner-city Bradford.
