Reach The Unreached Ministries was founded in January 1990 by Richard and Agnes Gunning from Belfast, Northern Ireland and Kenyan Pastor Peter Karangu. Richard and Peter first met when studying at “Troens Bevis Bible & Misjons Institutt,” a non-denominational Bible School in Norway in 1982; they became firm friends and continued to keep in touch after finishing their studies.

In 1989 Richard and Agnes visited Kenya, at Peter Karangu's invitation, to hold outreach meetings and a great pastors' conference attended by over 600 local pastors from all over Kenya. In 1990 Richard and Agnes returned to Kenya as missionaries and, together with Peter Karangu, established RTU as a mission to unreached tribes and areas.

The Lord greatly blessed their efforts and soon over 115 men were receiving support from RTU Ministries. Soon RTU began holding large gospel campaigns in needy towns; thousands came to the Lord in these inter-denominational rallies and many also testified to being healed in Jesus' name. To date over 1,400 churches have been planted by these men in remote and previously unreached areas. 

In 1993 Richard visited Russia and Asia, preaching the gospel to large crowds and training and inspiring local pastors and evangelists for future outreach and church planting. In Asia up to 20,000 people were present in a single evening meeting. Over the years more than 200 local pastors have received support from RTU Ministries. Hundreds of new churches have been planted as a direct result.

Richard Gunning has also preached the Gospel and inspired believers in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Republic of Ireland,  Richard is also in regular demand as a guest preacher and evangelist in churches in his native Northern Ireland. Richard preaches a message everyone can understand and also ministers to the sick in his meetings.
