81% of Non-Christians Do Not Personally Know a Christ-follower

Over 3 billion people live within people groups with no indigenous community of believing Christians that have the resources to evangelize them. These are the unreached people of the world.

How is PPC making a dent in this these numbers?

PPC has a long-standing relationship with  International Needs (IN). IN Ghana is engaged in a strategic effort to reach two   unreached people groups: the Chala and  Kotokoli. After much prayer, an exploratory trip, and discussions with IN U.S., it was our  belief that God had uniquely positioned PPC to partner with IN to help them reach these two people groups.

 

What exactly does that look like?

We financially support two Chala men, a church planter and a community developer, to bring the Kingdom of God to the two people groups.

Periodically, we take medical mission trips to the Chala and Kotokoli villages.

We send medical and school supplies with our short-term medical teams.

We pray for our missionaries and the people they are trying to reach.

We provide financial support for AWANA, literacy classes, transportation, Bible translation, Jesus film showings and evangelism meetings, radio ministry, holiday and emergency food basket distribution and much more.

We celebrate and praise God as they report monthly on their activities.
