China was a Global Tribe and newsboys focus in 2006. China is a country with about 100 million students. Newsboys traveled to China for a series of free and low-cost events, foreshadowing REACH events in the U.S. They were not prepared for what developed as a result of those nights. The audience consisted primarily of university students who came either out of curiosity or a hunger for western rock . It was apparent to all that the student’s hearts were touched by the message and the music and the genuine love and commitment shown by the band. Many people serving God in those Chinese cities as teachers, planters, and mission workers communicated the overwhelming response to the message and the increased opportunity to share the Gospel with their student friends. Many students came to Christ. Today, the impact Global Tribe and newsboys had on these students for just one night in their lives is still felt in these communities where the Christian population is growing steadily.(Pictured left to right: Arena in China for Newsboys concert // Jeff with kids in an orphanage // The boys on the Great Wall!)

GET READY FOR REACH 2009

Reach is an event straight from the heart of Newsboys. It is an opportunity to invite friends, family, co-workers, and neighbors to a great concert event where they will hear a clear presentation of the Gospel message and have an opportunity to respond.

“Music is one of the most powerful forms of media; it crosses economic, social, racial, and denominational divides. We see music as a gift, much like a Trojan Horse being wheeled into a city. We come sharing the gift of music, and yet out of the music comes an even greater gift…the gift of the Gospel. ” - Peter Furler, lead singer, newsboys.
