Spiritual Landscape in Indonesia
The world’s largest population of Muslims live in Indonesia, where many large communities of people still do not have a gospel witness. Christianity is a minority religion, and evangelical Christianity makes up only a very small percentage of believers.
There are 239 people groups who are living and dying without any knowledge of Jesus Christ.
Please pray
- For people of integrity to help SIM Indonesia be registered as a legal entity and lead SIM Indonesia into the future
- For grace and wisdom to mobilise the Indonesian church for missions
- For revival in Indonesia’s 72,000 churches; many do not have a vision for mission; some are nominal churches. Evangelicals are only 3.2 per cent of Indonesia’s 280 million population.
- For grace and discernment to identify candidates with a mission call to serve in Indonesia and beyond
- For Indonesia’s 548 people groups that have heard the gospel to grow spiritually as disciples of Jesus
- For Indonesian churches to be burdened to share the gospel with Indonesia’s 239 people groups who are living and dying without Christ
- For continued unity, direction and collaboration for several Indonesian networks that are seeking to mobilise churches for cross-cultural outreach, both within Indonesia and overseas
- For wisdom, joy and perseverance for SIM Indonesia’s workers
- For Sundanese to come to the light, confess their sins, and be cleansed from all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus
- there are very few churches among the Sundanese. More workers are needed to reach this people group
