BeachReach
White sand. Surf. Bikinis. It's Spring Break 2009. You know what it’s like. You’ve watched it all on MTV. Scenes of non-stop partying, boozing, and casual sex. Mind-numbing behavior that results in heartbreaking loneliness.
Enter BeachReach 2009—where college students and leaders come together to share the love of Jesus through servant evangelism to Spring Breakers who are desperately searching for meaning to life.
You and your students can make a difference—one person at a time—at BeachReach. Your students will meet Spring Breakers as they climb into a van for a FREE late-night lift; as they sit across the table and talk at a FREE pancake breakfast; or by playing volleyball, tug-o-war, or teaming up in a sand sculpting contest. All designed to help students build relationships that lead to opportunities to share their love and hope in Jesus Christ.
BeachReach is absolutely amazing. You know you’re a little scared and you’re unsure of yourself once you come down here, but the trainers down here, they’re great, and they tell you exactly what you need to remember and they equip you with things to say and by the time you reach the streets you are so filled with passion and love for these students and peers, it will absolutely change your life!

I love bringing students to BeachReach because they get hands-on experience in sharing their faith. Many of the students we bring have never shared their faith before, and so when they come here they get hands on practical experience doing it day after day, and they may not have been equipped when they came but when they go home they’re equipped to share their faith with their friends and their family and that’s why I’ll be bringing student to BeachReach as long as I’m doing this.

Hi, I’m Josh. I was here about two years ago to hang out with my friends and party. I went down to the pancake breakfast to get some FREE pancakes and Jesus Christ changed my life there. I’m living proof that the power of this ministry is both lasting and effective.
