About this listen

This episode discusses the legacy and global growth of REAP (Roever Educational Assistance Programs) International. They reflect on how forgiveness, compassion, and service—especially in Vietnam—have shaped their mission. REAP now impacts hundreds of thousands of students in 48 countries, offering K-12 education and healthcare, and even works within Buddhist temples in Vietnam. The conversation weaves in Dave's personal journey from injury and loss in the Vietnam War to reconciliation and partnership with communities once considered adversaries. The episode emphasizes that forgiveness—of others, God, and oneself—is central to healing and transformation, and that compassion is the key to making a lasting impact. The podcast also encourages listeners to reach out, support, and stay connected as the ministry continues to expand its work worldwide.
