Intercultural Educators - Robert and Judy Reed

Instruct the wise, and they will be even wiser. Teach the righteous, and they will learn even more. Prov. 9:9

About us

For centuries, most missionaries have gone out from first world countries. Now God is calling more and more people in the two-thirds world to serve Him by taking the Good News around the globe. They need training in order to be as effective as possible. Robert is developing online courses to help equip them to carry out God's call on their lives. These courses will be available for use around the world, wherever there is internet.

Judy comes alongside Robert in this ministry by keeping in regular contact with those who support this ministry through their friendship, prayer, and financial partnership. She also feels honored to be able to care for her mom in our home since summer 2017. In August of 2018 her mom suffered a stroke, and time invested in her care has increased.  In addition, Judy has played a big role as "grandma" to three growing grandchildren (now all double-digits) who live a half hour away from the Reeds.
​

History

​Robert and Judy have served as missionaries for more than 45 years. Robert has a broad education (PhD and four masters degrees), and has been training missionaries in English and Spanish, both in the U.S. and abroad, much of his career as a missionary. Over 1000 students have been impacted by his teaching. Missionaries who have taken courses from him are now serving in upwards of 70 countries around the world. In 2011 he began writing online curriculum in Spanish for use in Latin America, to train Spanish speaking missionaries. He is now also developing courses in English for use wherever there is a need around the world. His desire is to provide excellence in training to help pave the way for successful cross-cultural ministries. He is currently writing several courses as well as a textbook on cross-cultural training.

As a young single missionary, Judy worked as a linguist and Bible translator among the Asheninka people in the village of Churingaveni on the Perene River in Peru. Her program was closed down in 1980, and she married Robert shortly thereafter. After being without contact with the Asheninkas for 35 years due to the remoteness of the village, God miraculously reunited her in 2015 with these people who are like family to her. She has since made five trips back to the village, delivering the Jesus film and Scriptures in the language of the people. The most recent trip was in the summer of 2018. She maintains a relationship now with people in the village via email and Facebook, in stark contrast to the time period when she left. At that time there was no email, cell phone, or even snail mail.

Recurring Donations for Robert and Judy Reed


​How You Can Help

  • Pray for us
  • Support us financially
  • Encourage us with your friendship
​​

How You Can Pray

  • That we will walk deeply with God and reflect Him faithfully to the world around us.
  • For His provision for our needs, including long-term high medical costs as Judy has been battling cancer and Robert struggles with diabetes. The Reeds have recently lost several donors to heaven, and others have had to stop or scale back due to hard times, so the need for increased support is critical.
  • For wisdom in what to include in the various courses Robert is developing. He has taken and taught many classes on some of the topics. But he realizes that for many, his course or courses could be the only training they will receive on any given subject.​
