In big ways or small, visible or hidden, far-reaching or close to home, you were made for impact. Unleash your God-given potential with Reach More Mission Training.
Reach More is a process of missionary discipleship formation and training. It’s not a program. It’s a twelve-week adventure of discovery, prayer, community, skills, and habit formation to help you become a happier, more effective Catholic as a friend, spouse, parent, co-worker, neighbor, listener, witness, etc.
It includes a daily commitment to personal prayer, a group session each week, and one-on-one time with a point person every other week for personalized conversations about applying the content and goals of the training.
The group sessions include video content, discussion, Scripture, and training workshops to give you tools to have richer conversations, ask better questions, facilitate Scripture discussion, and pray for others.
Be inspired by these other videos. Plus, check out some real-life apostolate stories here.
It’s for Catholics who want to:
Every Christian is called to participate in the mission of the Church: to evangelize the world and make disciples of all nations. This isn’t a cringe-worthy task, but a life-giving adventure! If the “E-word” (evangelization) seems off-putting or out of reach to you, or if you’d love to spread the faith but don’t know how best to do it, then you’ll be glad to discover and grow in the Heart and Habits of Mission. These are foundational, bridge-building, effective ways to be good news (“gospel”) in and to the world. Reach More equips you to live them out.
Reach More Mission Training is not about getting something from you for the parish; it’s something your parish is offering for you: to encourage, bless, equip, and support you in the life you’re already living. What you do after the training is entirely up to you and the Lord. There’s no commitment to lead anything for the parish, volunteer in a new or existing effort, or lead this training for others.
Most people who experience this training find themselves inspired and motivated from the inside to discern more attentively where and how the Lord is calling them to make an impact: in their families, communities, workplaces, parishes, etc. Some start small groups; some see their work or families or current ministries with new eyes and renewed confidence; some bring more thoughtfulness and intentionality into a few existing friendships. People have done all kinds of things as a result of the spiritual and relational fuel this experience gave them. But it’s all a matter of free choice, personal discernment, and desire.
This isn’t a program. There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question, “What should I do next?” Instead, you’ll be guided through a process for prayerfully constructing your own plan for prayer, community, and mission going forward.
Reach More Mission Training is currently available to parishes and faith communities that partner with the Evangelical Catholic (EC) for coaching, consulting, and ongoing support. We (the EC) partner with pastoral staff and leaders who want to do things differently for the long haul. We help them build and shepherd a growing network of joyful, Spirit-filled lay people who live out their varied callings with prayerfulness, excellence, and contagious faith.
If you have received an invitation to Reach More Mission Training, it means that your pastor or leader has invested in providing your community with this powerful resource and way of life. It also means they are excited to connect with you, learn from and with you, and support you more fully in your lay vocation to radiate the love of Jesus into the world.
Join the thousands of Catholics worldwide who have been rejuvenated in discipleship and mission through Reach More Mission Training!
We know it can feel somewhat daunting to say yes to a commitment like this. Here are some questions for you to reflect on as you make your decision. Feel free to talk to your point person or pastor about this.
