Positive Change in 2020

Twenty Years Ago... Everyone was talking about Y2K… President Clinton was acquitted... Toy Story 2 was on the Big Screen… Destiny’s Child was topping the pop music charts… And Lawanna Busby became Lawanna St. Clair and joined Barry at Reach Out! Fast Forward To 2020...  Lawanna officially retired from her role of overseeing Reach Out's administration. During our December Board Meeting, we celebrated her exceptional leadership and sacrificial effort with a lovely plaque. The plaque put it this way:

With our greatest appreciation… Presented to Lawanna Busby St. Clair For 20 years of faithfully serving the cause of Christ through Reach Out Youth Solutions. Your unrelenting wisdom and perseverance have Impacted people around the world, for the Glory of God. Reach Out Youth Solutions Board of Directors

Lawanna hasn’t suffered from a second of boredom in her life. As she enters this new chapter, she continues to love her family well, live a life of compassion, and dive wholeheartedly into the missional moments that God brings across her daily path…basically she continues blessing those around her as so many have experienced throughout the years!

And Now in Dallas, Texas... During the final months of 2019, Reach Out officially opened another office in DFW, where Deedee Snyder has accepted the role as Reach Out’s Director of Operations. Deedee had had a long career in the Christian non-profit world, having worked at Insight for Living both in California and Texas for 27 years. Her passion is spreading the good news around the world. Deedee and Mark have two children and four grandchildren in California and Tennessee. Already we have seen how Deedee enhances and will expand Reach Out's ministry.

From Dallas and Atlanta to the World...

With the positive changes of a new team in a new office , our ongoing prayer is to lead Reach Out in the same way King David lead Israel...  “And David shepherded them with integrity of heart; with skillful hands he led them.” Ps.78:72

The core element of Reach Out continues: To equip leaders globally who influence the younger generation to follow Jesus. We have lived out that mission for 45 years, and we continue to make significant inroads even in the first 30 days of 2020 in countries around the globe.

Next month watch for "Cuba — our most fruitful trip ever!" Thank you for continuing on our "Positive Change" journey with your prayers and financial gifts.

Jesus is Lord,
