Bridging the Gap Between Technologists and Frontline Missions

In an age where Himalayan monks can be seen with the latest iPhones, Christians in the tech industry are still wondering how they can meaningfully contribute to frontier missions.

We partner with missional technologists and field teams to help advance church planting efforts among unreached language groups (ULGs). Together, we create mobile apps that bring Scripture, oral Bible stories, and music to ULGs.

Our Solution

Custom Apps for the Least of These

The unreached tend to receive less attention and resources. We’re building mobile apps that are catered to specific language groups and designing with their unique needs in mind. Our aim is to provide simple, clear, and culturally appropriate ways for people to access Scriptural content produced by locals and field teams.

I’m just amazed that people download the app every single day. It is so exciting and so awesome to think that there are 1600 people now with the Word of God on their phones which wasn’t the case before.

I’m just super thankful for all the hard work that Upstream has done to make this app a reality. People are stoked and praying for you and praising the Lord for you.

Missionary in Asia

I greatly enjoyed getting to know all of the mentors on the Upstream team. Mary, Michael, and Caleb were huge in guiding this process. I very much felt like there was a ship being steered and that I had a clear direction where we were headed.

The environment was very welcoming and forgiving, despite my mistakes and lack of knowledge about the tools being used. I greatly enjoyed this experience! Thank you! I also truly value the work being done to make the gospel known to all peoples. The people behind this work are using their skills and abilities incredibly for the sake of the kingdom.
