Our Purpose
The purpose of UIM shall be to establish and strengthen churches among Native, Mexican, Hispanic and Cuban communities of North America, built on the Scriptures and functioning within their cultural orientation.
Our Vision
The vision of UIM is to build cross-cultural relationships through committed people teaming together to accomplish our purpose.
Our Story
Originally known as United Indian Missions, Inc., UIM International was founded to establish biblically-based indigenous churches among Native Americans in the southwest U. S. in 1956. Today, our ministries are reaching nearly 35 tribal groups in Canada, the U. S., and Mexico as well as Mexican nationals and Spanish-speaking groups within various parts of the U.S.
Our objective is Gospel-centered and Bible-based churches, self-governing, self-supporting, and self-propagating bodies of Christ established and strengthened with national leadership. Our most recent national church ministry began in 2015, in the country of Cuba.
With many targeted groups moving in large numbers to urban areas, we’re doubling our efforts in major North American cities, praying that those who become Christ-followers will take the Good News to their countries and native communities.
