The numbers at the end of the people group such as the Bambara ( France | 100925 ), represents the ROP3 code. This code is a unique identifier shared between the list of people groups identified by Joshua Project and the IMB. When you import or link a people group with this ROP3 code, it will import data labels used by these two organizations for that people group. When you select a contact’s people group in their Contact Record Details Tile, it will give the potential for reporting key metrics on the status of their people group. What God does among your people as noted in Disciple.Tools will be very helpful data for updating Joshua Project and IMB’s databases on the status of the Great Commission.
