Who We Are

Our History
The story of RAP began with Dave and Sara, a couple passionate about Jesus. Between 2014 and 2015, God stirred their hearts to share the Gospel with the Pashtuns. However, at first, they faced closed doors, doubts, and challenges. It was during this time that God confirmed their calling and revealed a strategy.
The First Steps
Everything started with three people praying faithfully. While in Paraguay, Dave and Sara identified the need to mobilize Latinos for this mission. They created Spanish-language materials to inform, pray, and raise awareness about the Pashtuns.
The first countries to join were Colombia and Brazil, with believers willing to answer the call. Soon, the vision expanded to the Dominican Republic, Peru, and Costa Rica, with prayer groups and volunteers organizing in different locations.
Growth Amid Adversity
In 2020, the pandemic forced RAP to expand digitally. Through online prayer meetings, training sessions, and volunteer courses, the movement grew from 30 volunteers in 6 countries to over 120 in just one year.
RAP Today
Currently, RAP has 135 volunteers in 18 countries, advancing the mission of making the Gospel accessible to every Pashtun. You can be part of this story.
