But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of denouncing pleasure and praising pain was born and will give you a complete account of the system and expound the actual teachings of the great explore
My name is Doug Reed and I am the Managing Director of Possibilities Africa USA. I am the only staff person outside of Africa. I am married to Jill and we have three adult children. I have been working with PA since June 2019 and I believe more in this ministry now than the day I started. I was raised on a farm in south central Nebraska, the youngest of six children. I graduated from college with a Ag Education/Ag Economic degree. After college I farmed for 10 years and then felt called into the full time ministry and served as a pastor for the next 21 years. During this time, I took classes at Bethel Seminary and earned a Masters in Divinity. My interest in missions began in 1987 when I spent a summer in rural Kenya showing the Jesus film with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU). That summer our team of 5 college students showed the film to thousands of people with over 4,000 making a decision to follow Christ. It was a privilege to see God work in this way. But one thing bothered me, who disciples these people? How many times have they raised their hands to accept Christ? I met the local pastors who loved God, had a calling to serve God but did not have an opportunity to be trained. I saw a need, but not knowing the language or culture I did not know what to do with it. Fast forward to 2019, I was in Tanzania on a mission trip with our church and I heard more about Possibilities Africa and how they train pastors, help start small businesses and educate children. This resonated with not only my education, but also my passion. I love this ministry and I think you will as well. If you have any questions or would just like to talk, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me. Contact Doug via email today.
