Indonesia

The richness of Indonesia’s diversity includes more than 1,300 distinct native ethnic and linguistic people groups scattered across 17,000 islands.  Made up of crowded urban cities and vast areas of tropical jungles, Indonesia is home to incredible biodiversity, witnessed in majestic mountain views, stunning rice fields, and sparkling waters.  Indonesians developed a shared identity expressed by their national motto “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” (“Unity in Diversity” literally, “many, yet one”), witnessed through a national language, vast ethnic diversity, and religious pluralism all within the most populous Muslim nation in the world.  Jakarta’s business opportunities and potential for a higher standard of living attract migrants from across the Indonesian archipelago creating a melting pot of beliefs and values.  It is also home to a growing number of refugees spanning from Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.  Opportunities to serve in Indonesia range from church planting and theological education to transformational development and Business as Mission.  Indonesia needs the Gospel, and with so many opportunities, where might your help?
