From Florida to Wyoming, and Indonesia to West Africa, American Idol finalist Phil Stacey has been touring the world as an ambassador for reaching the lost. Today he takes time out from his busy schedule to share about his clear calling and his heart to align with the mission of Reach Beyond.
Phil shares how God has used the platform of American Idol to open some :crazy doors” for him around the world. These open doors are giving him the opportunity to share the gospel with many who may never otherwise hear the message of Jesus.
You’ll hear powerful stories from Phil’s recent visit to Ghana with his wife Kendra, where they spent time with Reach Beyond teams and missionaries. Phil and Jon Fugler discuss the work that Reach Beyond and our partners are doing in that region – including radio ministry and providing clean water and sanitation for villages there.
As World Water Day approaches on March 22nd, Phil and Jon explain the clean water crisis in West Africa. They invite you to help build a well in that region through Reach Beyond’s “Fill My Cup” campaign.
You will be inspired as you listen to the excitement and passion from Phil about effective ways we can work together as the body of Christ to be the voice and hands of Jesus.

At a hospital in Quito, Ecuador, a woman whose child underwent surgery was in tears with amazement and gratitude. The nurse speaking to her had just explained that people in other countries who love Jesus gave money to the hospital so those like her child could be helped. “I want to love Jesus too” she replied.
That nurse was Sheila Leech, VP of Reach Beyond’s Global Healthcare. And “That” she said, referring to the woman receiving Jesus, “is what it’s all about. Sharing compassion and love for individuals that Jesus died for.”
