The Pentecost Centre for the Study of Unreached People Groups Africa (PCUPG) is a pioneering research and training institution dedicated to advancing the mission of Christ among Unreached People Groups (UPGs) across the African continent. PCUPG exists to identify, understand, and equip the Church to reach ethnic groups that have little to no access to the gospel. These are communities often neglected due to geographical remoteness, tribal identity, religious barriers, economic marginalization, or social prejudice.
