1.    INTRODUCTION

All Nations Prayer Mountain Kedang (ANPM Kedang) also known as Bukit Doa Segala Bangsa Kedang  (BDSB Kedang) was established in 2009 at the chosen site in the wilderness of watershed of Kedang Mountain complex in West Kalimantan Indonesia.    

                                                                                                                          Trig. Station

Following a series of prayerful mountainous-site-searching  expeditions started in early 2003, a suitable site was found at GPS location recorded at N01.01376^o E111.70946^o at an altitude of 604 meters above the sea level. The location is about 150 meters away from Sarawak-Malaysia side of the international borderline inside West Kalimantan-Indonesia.   The establishment of ANPM Kedang was initiated by Bajau Biju who had served as a missionary for ten years earlier under Nehemiah International Mission covering Kalimantan. In establishing ANPM Kedang, he was supported by few individual Christians from Sarawak in strategic partnership with one core group of brethren who were local Dayak-Christian-villagers from Dusun Kedang and Merakai in Hulu Kapuas Kalimantan Barat Indonesia. Organizationally the group in West Kalimantan is called Yayasan Bukit Doa Segala Bangsa Kedang (YBDSBK) or All Nations Prayer Mountain Kedang Foundation  (ANPMKF)  based in Dusun Kedang. The approximate size of the site including its surrounding watershed forest areas of the Prayer Mountain is < 150 ha> communally owned by the local communities in Dusun Kedang through the said YBDSBK .

2.    WHAT IS ANPM KEDANG?

ANPM Kedang is the sole prayer mountain ministry established permanently to serve Dayak-Christian communities and least reached indigenous groups living territorially in the central watershed regions and plains of Kedang Mountain in the opposite side of the border areas particularly along the upper Merakai River in West Kalimantan, AND along the upper Kumpang River in Engkilili in Sri Aman Division Sarawak. 

3. WHAT IS THE BASIS FOR ESTABLISHING ANPM KEDANG?

Notwithstanding the omnipotent and omnipresence of God, the basis for the establishment of ANPM Kedang is spiritual, biblical and prophetic about the “Future Spiritual House of God” as written in  Isaiah 2:2-4 :

 “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD’s  house Shall be established on the top of the mountains And shall be exalted above the hills And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say: Come, and let us go up the mountain of the LORD, To the house of God of Jacob, He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths”  For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”

 “Akan terjadi pada hari-hari yang terahkir: gunung tempat rumah TUHAN akan berdiri tegak di hulu gunung-gunung dan menjulang tinggi di atas bukit-bukit; segala bangsa akan berduyun-duyun ke sana dan banyak suku bangsa akan pergi serta berkata: Mari, kita pergi ke gunung TUHAN ke rumah Allah Yakub, supaya Ia mengajar kita tentang jalan-jalanNya, dan supaya kita berjalan menempuhnya sebab dari Sion akan keluar pengajaran dan firman TUHN dari Yerusalem.”

4.    VISION AND MISSION
