Join our ministry partnership team
Research is about seeking truth and wisdom. Missionary candidates, workers and leaders worldwide use our data to inspire, encourage, focus and strengthen their work. Our partnership team works together to provide true-and-useful information to motivate and mobilize.
In order to do this, we publish on this blog, we write on Twitter, and we develop larger publications that are of use to missionaries, mobilizers, and missionary leaders. Right now we are launching a new Research Project to draft studies of each unreached cluster.
The easiest way to get on our team is to get into the stream of partner communications. Follow us on twitter, Friend us on Facebook or drop me an email to subscribe to our Short Notes list.
Here’s some of the ways our partners help:
1. Through prayer. This sounds like the old standby, but it’s huge. Just one example: when we were looking for a house in Texas to be near our international headquarters, we spent a day running into walls–but we sent out a prayer notice to our team, and the next day with their prayer covering saturating the air, two doors easily opened up for us. We need your prayers!
2. References. Our support team often refers us to people, or refers people to us, who either have things to discuss, data to provide, stories to suggest, or opportunities to investigate. The contacts you initiate for us help us find things we wouldn’t otherwise know about.
3. Wise counsel. We rely on the multiple perspectives within our partnership team to be a sounding board, both on the credibility of sources and information as well as in our decision making process.
4. Gifts of support. The sacrificial gifts of many on our partnership team enable the work to go forward. Some give a little, and some give more. All gifts are helpful.
If you like the stuff we share on Twitter or our blog posts, consider a $1 tip via Paypal. It’s not tax-deductible (it’s a buck, right?). Every little bit helps: it pays for stuff like subscriptions, software & data purchases, books, etc.
If you want to do more, you might consider a once-a-year gift to Mission to Unreached Peoples on our behalf: for example, $50 or $100.
After you click “Donate” you will be taken to a paypal page to confirm your donation.
5. Some want to be semi-anonymous supporters, and have helpfully bought off of our Amazon wishlist (which includes a number of books used for research). (We prefer Kindle versions, or cheap used versions.)
6. Many on our support team also repost or retweet our links.
And the efforts of people on behalf of this work aren’t limited to these options, of course. You are such an encouragement and a blessing to us. Thanks for joining with us in this task!
