Story



Looking for a personalised gift this Valentine's Day? I've got you covered!

Hello, I'm Bruce, a media producer with Reach Beyond. I've been with the charity for 13 years and I really enjoy producing short audio and online material to challenge people to think about the big questions of life & faith.

Reach Beyond seeks to reach 'unreached' people groups with the good news of Christ through media, healthcare and community development, in the UK and around the world. 

I'm passionate about the mission because it aims through word and action to reach people with little or no knowledge of the gospel - being 'the voice and hands of Jesus'. 

I'm also especially keen on creative writing and poetry, as I believe they have the power to provoke thought and to reveal the beauty of the good news in all its richness. 

On Christmas day, Reach Beyond celebrated its 90th birthday – and I have been doing something special to fundraise for this charity.

I am composing limericks for everyone who is willing to donate £10 to my page.

So, if you are willing to donate £10 today, I will write a bespoke, personalised limerick for you or your loved one using the information you provide once you have made the donation. 

All you have to do is:

  1. Make a suggested donation of £10 or whatever you can share on this page.
  2. Then write to info@reachbeyond.org.uk to share a few bits of information about the subject of your limerick. This could be you, a friend, a family member or even your dog! You might send me a name, a city, a hobby or interest – anything you’d like to include. But not too much or I’ll run out of space!
  3. Once the limerick is complete, we’ll design and print you a frameable copy and post it to you to, along with a FREE Reach Beyond bookmark!



A personalised limerick will make a great Valentine's Day gift if you are looking for something personalised and unique! 


It would be fantastic if you could help me to reach my fundraising target of £1,000.

Every penny will go towards the ministries of Reach Beyond, telling God's love story to the world in places such as India, Myanmar, Liberia, Ecuador and Central Asia. 


Though the wider world doesn't yet know it

Our Bruce is a journeying poet

He writes meaningful lines

Finds unusual rhymes

A ‘limerick to go’? – he won’t blow it!
