Jesus never promised His disciples an easy life. Following Christ means there will be obstacles because we have an enemy trying to stop the gospel work. We praise God for the earnest team you make possible in Indonesia. Despite barriers to establishing a new evangelistic training center, the work is going forward!
Klub Sehat Indonesia (sehat means “healthy”) is an outreach program teaching the community about health principles and natural remedies. The free clinic checks for high blood pressure, uric acid, cholesterol, and blood glucose. More than 2,000 people from all religions were served last year. Our team offers to pray for clients, and many non-Christians are happy to receive this care.
Your support of this health evangelism effort opens doors to hearts. The kindness of our team extends to people’s homes, where visits are made and interest in Christianity is stirred in many hearts. Along with this ministry is Simply Health, a catering service that sells healthy food to people in the city of Solo. Many are cautious about Christianity but are very open to improving their health.
In a country where extremists put pressure on those who want to learn about Christ, spreading the gospel best happens through friendship evangelism and health outreach. Your gifts make it possible for our Indonesian team to touch lives and in a practical way and reach hearts for Jesus.
Lifting Truth in Indonesia
God blessed the work of IAFCOE in 2023 through several outreach initiatives.
A key method to reaching hearts in a Muslim-dominated country is through internet evangelism. IAFCOE outreach through two Indonesian websites is made possible only through your caring gifts. One site was created specifically to reach those who do not have a Bible because of family persecution. Your kind gifts also provide videos on YouTube (sermons, testimonies, prophecy series, and Sabbath school lessons). And, through your compassionate help, our IAFCOE team started a new podcast and is also posting on TikTok. Praise the Lord!
You make it possible for the publishing ministry of IAFCOE to continue providing many books and magazines in the Indonesian language. Many materials are sent free to local Sabbath-keeping churches. Books are sold through trained canvassers and through our online bookstore. Over 12,000 resources were sold in 2023.
Central to the ministry of IAFCOE is training disciples to be witnesses for Christ. Last year, 120 students completed the Amazing Doctrines training program online. These students often become Bible workers, teachers, and even preachers in Indonesia, Malaysia, and other countries that speak Bahasa. You are also helping our team provide after-school English tutoring in one church, conduct health expos in remote areas of Indonesia, serve local churches by providing Sabbath school programs for youth, and much more.
Thank you for being a part of our evangelism work in Indonesia and Malaysia. The results of your prayers and sacrificial gifts are bringing joy to the angels sent from heaven to work beside us.
As our Amazing Facts Indonesia team boldly moves forward in sharing Christ throughout this island nation, please continue to pray for them as they face challenges. We cherish your prayers for how to proceed with a new training center. And please pray that the seeds you are helping sow in this beautiful nation will germinate and grow into a great harvest for God’s kingdom. Thank you!
