Growing from 4 to 400 Generations

Meet the Author
Robert M. Reach began foreign mission work in 1965, spending two summers training under Dr. Donald McGavran. Robert then completed college, earned a master’s degree, got married, and started a family. Robert traveled to sixty-five countries ministering to national pastors and church leaders, some more than fifty times. Later in life, he began researching people movements and developed a pilot project in SE Asia. Now with more than 1.5 million disciples of Jesus from a variety of religious backgrounds, Robert has learned the fundamentals of how to initiate, facilitate, develop and multiply a self-funding, self-propagating, and self-governing mass people movement of disciples of Jesus Christ.
