Partners International partners with local leaders in challenging places worldwide to build the church and transform communities in the name of Jesus.

Viva church supports Good Friends of Nepal (GFN) who serve people in remote, mountainous regions where there is no gospel witness. Despite persecution in the country, the gospel is advancing through this ministry.  Deploying Nepali workers is the foundational method to bring the gospel to the 350 unreached people groups living in those districts.Since 2005 the GFN network has grown from 45 to 245 churches. Staff show the love of Christ by serving the physical needs of vulnerable people, namely by protecting girls who are at risk of being trafficked and also widows who are shunned. The GFN staff are equipped at the training centre and effectively bless communities in Nepal with the development skills they acquire.
