Hunter Reachout -

ACCESS

Hunter ReachOut is an annual 'missions festival' held in Newcastle that gives the opportunity to local churches and Christians to come together and focus on obeying Jesus’ command to take his good news to the whole world. This year Islington Baptist Church is hosting the event.

Hunter ReachOut offers interactive seminars, conversations with people directly involved in cross cultural Christian mission, and gatherings where people share from their experience. Most of all the festival focusses on looking into the Bible to understand what the Lord himself is saying to us about the awesome task he has given us.

Representatives of the major evangelical missions, together with local mission initiatives, and the cooperative efforts of local churches come together to give you a day to explore the options to find out where you best fit in to play your role in giving people all over the world the chance to hear meaningfully the message of Jesus.

This year the theme of the event is 'ACCESS.' We will highlight the need to reach the 2 billion people in the world currently with no access to the gospel and our need to access means to reach them.
