Partners International is a global ministry that works to create and grow communities of Christian witness in partnership with God’s people in the least Christian regions of the world.

In 1943, when Partners began working with Christians in China, we pioneered the approach of partnering with indigenous Christian ministries, believing this is the most effective way to evangelize and establish churches. We continue to identify strategic ministries and provide an array of resources that strengthen and grow their work. The result? More than 1,300 churches were planted last year!

We provide financial resources for strategic ministry projects across the globe—from training pastors in China to providing micro-enterprise loans to women in Ghana. Our major ministry thrusts include church planting, leadership training, holistic witness, women and children, and ministry development. We also provide educational consulting services to partner ministries who operate Christian-based ministries, schools, and Bible schools.

In addition to financial resources, Partners enables ministries to strengthen and improve their organizational structure and processes—such as strategic planning, board governance, financial management, and local income generation.

Headquartered in Spokane, Washington, we have a worldwide staff of nearly 70, more than 100 indigenous ministry partners, and a vibrant community of thousands of U.S. donor partners, churches, and foundations whose efforts are helping us advance God's kingdom in 57 least Christian countries of the world.

Partners International is a member of the Global Partnership Alliance which includes CNEC/Australia, Canada, Japan, CNEC/Singapore, and Worldshare/United Kingdom.
