BCI Organization in Indonesia:

YMP3 (Discipleship and Evangelism Ministries of Papua)

was co-founded in 2002 by the same co-founders of Beyond Cultures International, Ron and Diana Baird, along with Edy Wowor and his wife Riama, with a vision to teach, train, and encourage national Christians for ministry.  It is the desire of YMP3 to follow what Jesus Christ commanded in Matt 28, "to make disciples", which means seeing people become Christians as well as teaching and training them that they may in turn teach others also. (2 Tim 2:2)

It is our motto, "Training Indonesians to reach Indonesians", for decades Western missionaries have been responsible for the majority of new works. Western missionaries cannot possibly reach Indonesia or the world on their own. It is going to take the help of national indigenous Christians who have been prepared for ministry by teaching and training them how to advance the Gospel and plant churches amongst their own native unreached people groups within their given country or nation.

Beyond Cultures International seeks to see that both of these organizations serve as one fluid and unified organization as much as possible.   Beyond Cultures International is the North American or "Western Missionary Branch" while YMP3 serves as the Indonesian Branch sharing the same visions, goals and ministries by

"Equipping National Christians for Church Ministry and Church Planting"
