The vision for the Partnership for Unreached Peoples was birthed in 1995 during a six-month internship in Southwest China. In 1999, after this internship and other short-term trips, a missionary family was sent to China by the Southwest Pittsburgh Vineyard.
Over the past 10 years, they have been effective in sharing the Gospel to thousands of people who had never heard the Good News before.
The Partnership has impacted peoples such as the Han, Wa, Yi, Naxi, Yao, Lisu, and Tibetans through various discipleship and leadership training events. Our encouragement and training has helped many precious believers to grow in their faith, despite the persecution and rejection they regularly face.
