First Love International in Indonesia

 

Indonesia is a vast equatorial archipelago of 17,000 islands (6,000 inhabited) extending 3,200 miles east to west, between the Indian and Pacific Oceans in Southeast Asia.  Indonesia is the world’s fourth most populous nation, and 86% Muslim making it the largest Islamic country.

Since Indonesia is a country that is highly restricted on traditional strategies for spreading the gospel, First Love is unable to name our workers who are serving in this very needful land for security reasons.  At the present time the work within this country will be centered around the idea of “presence.”

Priorities

At First Love we seek to “flesh out” the passion of Christ before a lost and dying world. In our ministries we have deliberately chosen to major on those whom the world might consider to be the minors.  And in that regard... our priority is to invest our greatest resources and energies on the least, because we recognize that whenever we reach out to the least of these, we do it for Jesus.

 

I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers or sisters of mine, you did for me...Jesus.

Matthew 25:40
