Reaching the Unreached International

Welcome to Reaching the Unreached International (RUI Ministries)

In 2010, Craig Pape, Founder & President, created Reaching the Unreached International (RUI Ministries) out of a deep conviction to equip indigenous church planters to bring the gospel to their own people. These local believers, already immersed in their culture, language, and communities, are the “New Wave” of missionaries that God has called to reach the unreached.

Our mission is to equip, encourage, and support indigenous pastors and church planters in northern India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Through ongoing mentoring relationships, leadership training, and essential resources, we empower these leaders to raise up the next generation of gospel workers who will plant churches, make disciples, and bring the hope of Jesus Christ to the most unreached regions of the world.

Our Mission

Equipping church planters for the work of the gospel among the most unreached.

Our Biblical Foundation

“It has always been my ambition to preach Christ where Christ is not known…” – Romans 15:20
“How can they call on the him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?” – Romans 10:14

Core Values

1. Reaching the Unreached through Indigenous Believers

We believe God has raised up passionate believers among the unreached to reach their own people with the gospel.
“Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.” – Romans 15:21

2. The Power of the Gospel

The gospel of Jesus Christ brings hope, forgiveness, and transformation. It has the power to change lives, families, and entire communities.

3. Equipping Leaders for Gospel Outreach

Strong partnerships and practical support are essential for raising up effective church leaders. We provide:

  • Mentoring relationships
  • Bible School training
  • Resources such as computers, bicycles, motorcycles, and sponsorships for pastors, students, and orphans

“That their hearts may be encouraged, being knit together in love…” – Colossians 2:2

4. Church Planting & Global Partnerships

We believe God is calling followers of Christ in the U.S. to partner with church-planting pastors in some of the most spiritually unreached regions of the world.
