The Kinnauri people live in the district of Kinnaur, a beautifully remote and mountainous region bordering Tibet. This district is home to about 80,000 people, most of whom have never heard of Jesus Christ.

In Lower Kinnaur, there are roughly 200 believers, all located in the capital, Reong Peo. The church is growing in Rekong Peo, spreading to neighboring villages despite the barriers of the rugged landscape and intense persecution. One village has a new fellowship of believers and another village has just a single family of new believers standing strong for Christ.
