2024 has been a special year, as it marks the 30th anniversary of GLOBAL REACHOUT (GR) and with that, 30 years of experiencing God's abundant grace. From its early days of doing shortwave radio broadcasts (1994–2016) to the Chinese hinterland, GLOBAL REACHOUT has since moved on to reach a global audience with a wide spread of Chinese and English course series across 16 new media platforms, including the publication of e-books and print materials. Indeed, it had been an extraordinary journey of faith and perseverance, marked by challenges and unforgettable milestones. It is indeed a memorable "3G journey" filled with God's Grace, profound Gratitude for all contributors, and the Grit of GR's entire team and board members. These values continue to inspire us to press on amid difficulties and will continue to serve as the cornerstone for sustainable growth alongside the Organization.

Today, we are confronted with three major "WSE" challenges with the rapid advancement of global technology:1) Workplace - with the issue of Mammon worship;2) Society - the issue of moral decline; and3) Environment — the crisis of global warming.In addition, Christians face three significant "QQI" challenges:1) Quantity - The slow growth in quantity of disciples;2) Quality - the insufficient number of truly dedicated disciples committed to fulfilling God's threefold mission; and consequently,3) Impact - the Christian community's difficulties to bring about the Kingdom's influence in this era.As emphasized in the "Cape Town Commitment," active engagement with WSE is crucial to the overall mission of the Christian community, as it enables the broad and expeditious dissemination of the gospel. Neglecting the world (including WSE) would mean straying from God's Word and missing the opportunity to bring blessings to the world. In response to these challenges, and building on the mission and blessings of GR, we arenow set to launch the innovative MNC strategy after much prayer and deliberation!

1. Mission-minded：As emphasized in the "Cape Town Commitment," active engagement with WSE is crucial to the overall mission of the Christian community, as it enables the broad and expeditious dissemination of the gospel. Neglecting the world (including WSE) would mean straying from God's Word and missing the opportunity to bring blessings to the world. In response to these challenges, and building on the mission and blessings of GR, we are now set to launch the innovative MNC strategy after much prayer and deliberation!

2. Needed Areas：In terms of course development, we will focus on creating content that is both profound and inspiring, guiding disciples to turn their hearts toward our triune God. Our goal is to nurture Spirit-filled, mission-driven, Christ-centered Christian soldiers who are committedto living out God's threefold mission—stewardship, relationships, and proclamation-anytime and anywhere, thereby exerting a greater Kingdom influence in the world. At the community level, we will pay special attention to the needs of Millennials and Generation Z in both family and workplace contexts, particularly those within the 18 to 43 age bracket.

3. Collaboration：GR will continue collaborating with global mission organizations and speakers to produce professional, in-depth series of courses and programs. Simultaneously, we will broaden Kingdom partnerships by working with churches on programmes and course development. This COD collaboration will yield significant "Triple-Win" benefits: Churches — Churches will have more opportunities to serve. Organization - GR will gain enhanced access to talent and collaborative resources. Disciples - Discipleship will be strengthened and expedited, empowering the community of believers to create a profound impact across various sectors of society. Dr. Michael Oh, President of the Lausanne Movement, pointed out at the 4th Lausanne Seoul Congress 2024: "The obstacle for today's church is not 'I don't like you,' but 'I don't need you.'" My call to all churches, organizations, and brothers and sisters is this: the Kingdom ministry of GLOBAL REACHOUT needs you! It is our honour to call on individuals, churches and organizations (see 8.4 Kingdom Partnership), to join us in the development of our courses, including writing, translation, video production, Al, media platform management, administration, and monetary contributions. Let us work in tandem, united in effort, to expand the influence of the Kingdom in this VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) world! Let us finish well!
