INDONESIA—God is moving in the hearts of Indonesians. As the message of forgiveness and God’s unconditional love is shared, we are hearing of amazing testimonies of God’s grace in action. It is a great joy to be part of this Harvest.
IMI is involved partnering with the indigenous church to provide scholarships (”Child Sponshorship Program” or, CSP) to children of impoverished families. The number of children enrolled in the CSP program in one village has doubled from 12 to 24. There are dozens on the waiting list to be sponsored.
The Lord has brought a seminary student who will work as an intern for a year in one of the villages. He will establish new contacts, follow-up and disciple new believers. They meet every Sunday evening. As the parents are discipled, the CSP tutorial staff works with the CSP children on their homework. The students are also taught English using the Gideon Bible that has Bahasa Indonesian on one side and English on the other side. They then lead the children in singing and games after the studies. Pray that when he graduates from seminary the Lord will burden him to stay in this village and possibly become the Pastor of this village church.
How you can help: Pray for these Believers in this predominately Muslim country who are boldly evangelizing during this open window of opportunity.
Support a CSP child @ $25/month: This will enable a child to receive education, a uniform, tutoring and an opportunity for him or her and the family to learn about the Gospel. A packet will be mailed to you with information on your child. You can donate online on this website or mail your check to IMI.
