Mission to Unreached Peoples was started in 1981 to bridge the gap between traditional missions and Christian relief and development. Initial activities revolved around raising funds for small projects undertaken by national Christians in the developing countries of Asia.

In 1983 we were joined by our first missionary family, who lived and worked in Seattle for several months developing training materials, while awaiting visas for their placement in Nepal in December of that year. The faith and determination of this couple, to stay with the call God had placed in their hearts to work in Nepal--a country closed to traditional missionaries--helped shape our determination as an organization to find creative strategies to enter "closed" countries, gaining access for the Good News of Jesus Christ to those peoples unreached by His Gospel.

In August 1986, with the placement of a 14-member team in China, the total number of personnel in Asia had grown to 38, in addition to more than a dozen ministry projects run by Asian nationals in 11 countries.

In 1990, the emphasis of Mission to Unreached People shifted to add a focus on church planting, evangelism, and the placement and support of an increasing number of long-term missionaries. Our passion is to see the church mobilized with each member using their unique gifts and calling in response to the Great Commission.

Since 2008 our focus has honed in on the urgency of reaching the 27.9% of the world’s population who are still essentially cut off from access to the Gospel. We seek to be catalysts for rapidly-reproducing indigenous movements to Christ by strategically placing small agile teams among these least-reached people groups. These teams are asking, “What needs to happen for this people group to be transformed with the Gospel?” while practicing powerful prayer and abundant sharing of the Word.

Is God stirring your heart to be part of reaching a people group cut off from the Gospel? Call us to find out more about supporting or joining a strategy team at 469-814-8222.
