OUR HISTORY
Partnership International began before it began. Founder and director, Doug Reed, was leading and organizing short term missions trips all over the world for many years before its existence. But, in August of 2005, God placed on Doug's heart the concept of Partnership International - a ministry that would facilitate short term missions trips that were impactful for both the trip-goer and those they minister to. From that day forward he and the rest of the staff have been working toward seeing that strategic vision become a reality all over the world.
Today, Partnership International has facilitated hundreds of missions trips, overseen countless community-shaping projects, and has witnessed thousands of lives transformed. Doug and the staff continue to be humbled and amazed by the life-changing impact that is accomplished through each individual trip.
