Dr. Wilkins' REACH Team ministry demonstrates the powerful effect of wedding Great Commandment acts of kindness with Great Commission witness training in a team approach that incorporates the unique gifts and abilities of every member. As a pastor and trainer of evangelists for nearly thirty years, I highly recommend Dr. Wilkins' practical steps and keen insights for taking your evangelism ministry to the next level."

"Scott Wilkins writes plainly about his passion: reaching people! A simple, understandable approach, REACH will help those who are tired of seeing evangelism as a program and what to see it as a relationship with people."

"Scott Wilkins is a practitioner. He has implemented the REACH strategy in his local church setting. It works! Regardless of the approach a church uses to equip believers to witness, REACH is a relationally focused deployment strategy that engages witnesses in the loves of the unsaved. REACH is doable in virtually any size or style congregation in almost any location. REACH is a worthwhile tool for the toolbox of any twenty-first-century congregation interested in engaging the culture and reaching the unsaved with the gospel."

"REACH is a timely, needed book that will do more to help us to fulfill the Great Commission than any book I've read in recent years. I believe in relational evangelism and acts of hospitality as important elements toward New Testament evangelism. Every evangelical church needs to consider putting these timely and imperative principles into practice."

"Scott Wilkins has written a vital, provocative, and innovative book dealing with bringing souls to Jesus Christ. I am excited and happy for this work and trust that it will be a blessing to many."

"If we do not determine to do evangelism in a more compelling way, we will lose America. Evangelism is about relationships and earning the right with your community to share Christ. In Scott Wilkins' new book, REACH, he has provided a strategy for Christians to embrace worldwide that will open doors into the hearts of the unchurched and the hearts of our post-Christian culture. This book will not only equip you with thoughts about what we should do, but provide you ways to do it! Implement the heart of this book and your unchurched world will become smaller."

"Significant! Reach has been birthed out of a great sense of need in the evangelical church. Scott Wilkins has written the new standard in evangelism for the outreach-minded church. This book is jammed full with practical helps on how to do evangelism in the local church. It is realistic. It is easy to follow. Most importantly, it is something every church can do with committed laypeople. Full of how-tos and why-tos, all that is missing is the want to. Add that and watch your church grow. This is a must-read for pastors and churches desiring to lead their community to Christ. Both pastor and laity alike will find this a great resource. I love this book because Scott loves lost people and wants to communicate an excellent way to train up your church to reach the lost in North America. REACH is loaded with practical yet profound insights. This work forces us to rethink how we approach evangelism in the local church and gives us both practical and evangelistic methodologies of achieving victory. Evangelism is attainable."

"Since I personally know the author, I was excited to read his interest in evangelism. The written page matches his lifestyle as a winner of souls. This is the freshest approach to evangelism in years and could be a giant step toward genuine revival."

"REACH: A Team Approach to Evangelism and Assimilation by Scott Wilkins is an excellent, practical work that will effectively enhance personal evangelism through local churches. It can be a great component to empower a church's total evangelism strategy. It will help pastors and church leaders involve their people in utilizing a 'can do' in reaching the lost and unchurched. Scott is not a theorist but has modeled REACH in his church. It gives the how-to for believer individually and in teamship to develop relationships, cultivate through acts of hospitality, lead people to Christ and help assimilate them into the life of the church. I have carefully read the material and pray that every church will implement this good approach for reaching people and bringing glory to our Lord."

"Finally, an easy to understand model for strategic planning that will fit any congregation. REACH is biblically based and evangelistically driven with the ultimate goal of impacting the unsaved world. Most importantly, Dr. Wilkins didn't formulate REACH in a classroom far away from the daily challenges of genuine ministry. On the contrary, REACH grew out of real-world experiences and frustrations combined with a pastor's heartfelt desire to reach his community for Christ. I am impressed with the results! Check it out!"

"Looking for something that works in personal evangelism? REACH is that process for which you are looking. The concepts of REACH are tried and proven in reaching people in our society. This process is incarnational and biblical. You will be glad that you implemented REACH."

"Has your church grown weary in its feel for the Great Commission? Scott Wilkins equips us to impact the kingdom of God through the winning of souls with a practical and effective team approach. Let's REACH the lost for Christ. Evangelism doesn't have to be hard."

"REACH is a simple yet profound approach to reaching people for Christ. There is no shortage of approaches in the church that have attempted to bring our friends and neighbors to Christ, but frankly, most of them are just too complicated and scary for the average person to relate to. Scott Wilkins has done the body of Christ a big favor in putting this handy book together. It's the best thinking on evangelism that I have seen in some time. I highly recommend this work!"

"No excuses! Here is a track your church can run on. Biblical, practical, and completely fulfilling the Great Commission, REACH is a detailed roadmap to help do the Great Commission. We must keep fishing until the nets are full, and the methods conveyed in this book will help us to accomplish our task."

"Scott Wilkins has done the church of the Lord Jesus Christ a tremendous service by writing this book on evangelism. There must be a twenty-first-century strategy for reaching twenty-first-century unchurched people. In this book, a strategy that will be tremendously effective has been laid out. This book pulsates with the heartbeat of a man who wants to enable the church to be as effective as it can be in carrying out the Great Commission. In my opinion, Scott has succeeded beyond perhaps his own wildest imagination."

"Scott Wilkins draws upon his successful experiences and the best research available to develop a relational team approach to evangelism, anchored in the Bible, that works in a postmodern world. The approach reduces barriers to participation by developing natural contacts and relationships into bridges for the gospel and connections for assimilation. The team approach provides encouragement and support that inspire ongoing ministry and evangelism. The book is filled with practical helps with cultivation, hospitality, sharing your story, one verse witnessing, answering questions, interactive student guide, and much more. REACH Team is the best approach that I have seen that is intentional, relational and practical. It will be a powerful tool for church leaders to use in equipping laypersons in relational evangelism."

"Scott Wilkins is a committed pastor with a true vision for evangelism and the ability to mobilize laypersons to reach persons for Christ and then bring them into the full life of the church. We should celebrate the publication of this new book and hope that it gets in the hands of every evangelical pastor."

This is a must for pastors and churches who are truly committed to church growth and reaching the harvest. Read it, use it and grow!"

This book will provide a strategic plan that will enable everyone to get involved in the most exciting project on the planet - extending the kingdom through our personal witness. Scott gives us practical suggestions that are believable, doable and applicable. The foundation is solidly biblical, and the method is refreshingly relational. He provides suggestions for variety of materials that will help you feel comfortable sharing your faith in the marketplace."
