About Us

---

The name of Reaching the Nations comes from our central focus to proclaim one salvation through the name of Jesus for all nations. Regardless of where someone is from, God desires to reach their hearts with His truth and His forgiveness. We believe there is a unique opportunity in the United States because God has brought many nations to us; the harvest is plentiful. Jesus commands, "'Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' Amen" (Matthew 28:19-20, NKJV). 

The Beginning of Reaching the Nations Ministries

• In 2019, many churches in Europe faced a great challenge as the number of Muslim refugees increased. In some cities, these refugees were living inside church buildings as there is a law designating churches as a safe place, meaning the refugees cannot be deported while staying in a church building! 
• These churches face the following challenges: 1. There is a lack of communication as most cannot speak with the refugees who are either living inside of the churches or in refugee bases. 2. There is a lack of knowledge about Islam, and many of these churches do not know how to share the gospel with Muslims without creating conflict! 3. Lastly, there is a lack of cultural understanding as cultural differences create a barrier between these two people groups. 
• Vahid has traveled with teams to churches across Europe with the mission of equipping churches with information, sharing the Gospel with Muslims, and sharing books and Bibles in Middle Eastern languages. 
• While Vahid was in the UK, the Lord spoke to his heart about bringing this mission to America. Through years of praying and preparing, Reaching the Nations Ministries started in January of 2023 with the purpose of bringing this mission to America.  

We believe the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, is the inspired Word of God, without error in the original writings. It is the complete revelation of God’s will for the salvation of men and women, and the final authority for all Christian faith and life. (2 Timothy 3.16-17, 2 Peter 1.19-21, Matthew 5.17-18, John 10.34-36)

We believe in one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect and eternally existing in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Deuteronomy 6.4, Matthew 28.19, 2 Corinthians 13.14)

We believe that Jesus Christ is the true God and true man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life. He died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins. He rose bodily from the dead. He ascended into heaven. He is now our High Priest and Advocate at the right hand of the Father. He will physically and visibly return to consummate history, rule, and reign over the earth.  (John 1.1-18, Romans 4.25, Ephesians 1.15-23, Colossians 1.15-23, Hebrews 7.23-25)

We believe in God the Father, an infinite personal Spirit, perfect in holiness, wisdom, power, and love. We believe that He actively and mercifully intervenes in the affairs of humanity, that He hears and answers prayer, and that He saves from sin and death all that come to Him through Jesus Christ. (Exodus 34.6-7, John 3.16, John 4.23-24, Ephesians 1.3)

We believe the Holy Spirit is fully God, equal with the Father and the Son. The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify Jesus by convicting non-Christians of their need for Christ; giving new birth to believing sinners; and indwelling, sanctifying, leading, teaching, and empowering believers for godly living and service. We believe that all Christians are to be filled with the Holy Spirit subsequent to conversion. We also believe that all of the spiritual gifts listed in the Bible (Romans 12.6-8, Ephesians 4.11, 1 Corinthians 12.8-10, and 28-30) continue to be distributed by the Spirit today; that these gifts are divine provisions central to spiritual growth and effective ministry; and that these gifts are to be eagerly desired, faithfully developed, and lovingly exercised according to biblical guidelines. (John 3.3-8, John 14.15-27, John 16.5-15, Romans 8.9-17, 1 Corinthians 12-14, Galatians 5.16-26, Ephesians 5.18-21)
