About Us

Reaching Frontiers exists to bring the Gospel to peoples and communities with no access to its life-transforming message. Born out of a season of prayer and deep conviction, the ministry was founded with a singular vision: to see vibrant, worshipping churches planted among the least reached and to equip the local Church to take ownership of God’s global mission.

From its earliest days, Reaching Frontiers has focused on identifying, training, and sending indigenous missionaries to cross cultural and geographic boundaries for the sake of the Gospel. The ministry was shaped by years of grassroots outreach, hands-on service among vulnerable communities, and discipleship. What began as local compassion efforts grew into a missional movement rooted in Gospel proclamation, and holistic integration.

At the heart of Reaching Frontiers is the conviction that every person deserves to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Yet millions still live and die without access to the Gospel. This is the frontier we seek to strategically reach.

In partnership with the local Church, Reaching Frontiers is committed to mobilizing and equipping believers to serve among the least and unreached through training, strategic support, and long-term mission engagement. We believe the Church is God’s chosen instrument for proclaiming His Kingdom and planting Gospel-centered communities in hard and forgotten places.

Since its transition in 2020, Reaching Frontiers has deployed its first cohort of indigenous missionaries, advancing into areas with critical Gospel needs. The work continues to grow driven by a passion to see Christ glorified, lives transformed, and churches established where none currently exist.

Together, we labor to reach the frontiers with the Gospel.

A Testimony from The Founders

Lawrence and Lydia carried a deep and personal burden for peoples and communities with less access or unreached by the Gospel. They often reflected that this calling was not the result of mere ministry ambition, but was deeply woven into the fabric of their lives, shaped by prayer, and nurtured through their own journey of faith.

From an early age, both had learned what it meant to depend entirely on God, trusting His provision in seasons of lack, clinging to His promises through trials, and witnessing His faithfulness time and again. It was upon this foundation that God graciously called them to Himself and anchored their hearts in a steadfast faith that would carry them through the most difficult and uncertain seasons of life.

In time, God began to stir within them an overwhelming burden for peoples who had never heard about Jesus, a longing to see Christ proclaimed where He was not yet known, and to witness the transforming power of the Gospel in the lives of those still waiting to hear and to see Bible teaching and faithful Churches transforming communities planted. This holy discontent became the seed of Reaching Frontiers.

As a newly married couple, they made the costly yet joyful decision to leave behind comfort and pursue mission work. With hearts surrendered and faith anchored in God’s unchanging promises, they said “yes” to His call to go. And now they invite you all to the same journey – a journey to share Christ’s love to those with no access to the Gospel.

Our Core Values

Hard-to-Reach Focus
We are committed to bringing the Gospel to hard-to-reach peoples and communities, making disciples and planting churches where Christ is not yet known. This value reflects our dedication to going beyond geographical, cultural, or social barriers to share the life-changing message of the Gospel. Whether in remote villages, marginalized urban areas, or among unreached tribes, we prioritize those who have little or no access to the hope of Christ.

Empowerment Through Training
We equip Gospel workers and the local church with the tools, knowledge, and discipleship necessary to transform lives and establish thriving discipleship cohorts and churches. Training ensures spiritual maturity, cultural sensitivity, and sustainable impact.

Love in Action
We demonstrate Christ’s love through tangible acts of service, bringing hope, healing, and holistic transformation to individuals and communities. Love bridges hearts to the message of Christ, embodied in acts of kindness and compassion.

Partnership in Mission
We believe in the power of collaboration, working with individuals, churches, and organizations to fulfill the Great Commission. Through partnerships, we share resources, multiply our impact, and build a unified force for reaching hard-to-reach communities.

Unwavering Christlikeness
Christlikeness is the foundation of all we do. We strive to reflect Christ’s integrity, compassion, humility, and excellence in every aspect of our ministry, embodying the fruit of the Spirit in all actions and relationships.

Prayerful Dependence
Prayer is the cornerstone of our mission, aligning our work with God’s purpose and seeking His guidance and provision. Through prayer, we intercede for workers, communities, and resources, trusting God for extraordinary impact.
