McReynolds, Bryan & Rebe

Bryan and Rebe McReynolds and their five kids have been with MTW since 2005, working in both South Africa and Madagascar. They were part of an international team ministering to the Sakalava people of Nosy Be, Madagascar, through Scripture translation, leadership training, and church planting. Their church planting efforts have also led to two small business projects: Mama Vao Vao, which employs Sakalava women who create handmade goods for sale in Madagascar and beyond; and the Sakalava Music Project, which works with local musicians to engage the culture and create Sakalava worship music and story songs from Scripture.

Now Bryan is working with our MTW Africa partner churches in southern Africa to encourage indigenous missionary development. As Christianity in the West declines our next missionary force will increasingly come from Asia and the Global South. Accordingly, we would like to help our African Reformed and Presbyterian churches transition from historically primarily receiving missionaries to actively sending missionaries as well. This includes identifying, recruiting, training, funding, and sending African missionaries to challenging places across the continent.
