My family was personally blessed by Reach and First New Testament Church missions.
Several years ago our family was living in Virginia where my son was planting a small church. The church was in the early stages and was in need of encouragement and support. As God would have it, some of our family and other members at First New Testament became aware of the need and came to minister to us. It was an outpouring of love and encouragement that was so greatly needed. Jeff Lee preached nightly and we had scheduled outreaches, but more than that it was a special time for those of us there in VA.
We were a small body of believers, but size did not affect the response to support us. I don’t believe there is a call too great or too small that Reach would not attempt to fulfill if called. Pastor Lee was so supportive and a great encouragement to our son and the Church. The Humility and Servanthood of Pastor Lee, Reach, and the body at FNT is beyond words.
The burden to reach the lost is evident in both local and foreign missions. If you look around the sanctuary of First New Testament Church, there are many many flags that represent the countries that this local body has reached out to and continue to support and minister too in so many ways. While reaching around the world with missions, the need to reach the local community only increases. The Great Commission is truly on the hearts of Reach and the loving body at First New Testament Church.
