Networking Resources
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:12
A core value of IMPACT is networking -- bringing together individuals, churches, agencies, and resources to reach all Indo-Malay UPGs. We encourage you to learn more about the ministry areas described below.

Prayer - “House of Prayer for Unreached People Groups” is the vision of the Prayer Working Group until 2030. We mobilize as many believers as possible in the body of Christ to pray earnestly for UPGs and field workers around Indonesia. Spiritual strongholds and darkness are the biggest challenges that field workers are facing. When two or three people gather and unite in prayer, the spiritual darkness is dispelled and God’s light will shine. Please consider joining us for our weekly prayer fellowship (Monday 9pm ET / Tuesday 8am WIB). Register here.
Member Care - a sustainable ministry that starts from recruiting / preparing, and continues on the field through retirement. We arrange mitigation for handling and avoiding illness, depression, burn out, and other conditions. Field workers must be Healthy, Strong, and Effective to glorify God in every part of life and ministry.
BAM (Business as Mission) - one of the main challenges to entering into a new area is the platform. Business for UPG tries to solve this problem. Business people want to walk alongside the field workers so they may perform well in their work and in their platforms.
Mobilization - mobilizing churches across denominations to catch the vision of adopting Indonesian UPGs/UUPGs. We encourage and mentor churches to be involved in this movement as a prayer, sender, or goer. Pastors, evangelists, and church members can learn at a deeper level about UPGs ministry through several courses, such as Kairos, Perspective, or B2B (Blessed to be a Blessing).
Bible Translation - a space to connect with those who are translating scripture and related materials to facilitate disciple making movements among UPGs, and a place to express a need for these materials where they don't yet exist.
Media - catalyze movements by identifying Person of Peace candidates through online media. This can be through social media, movie, audio bible, and other media platforms. Media is doing follow-up/filtering to verify the right seekers and then connect them to the field workers to bring them into offline discipleship and mentoring. Media is developing Digital Discipleship concept and tools.
