Why Indonesia Needs Hope

Indonesia is a hard place to do ministry. Made up of 17,500 islands (6,000 of which are inhabited) the country of Indonesia is incredibly diverse in language, culture, and religion. Though recognized as one of the official religions of the country, Christianity is often overshadowed by Islam’s greater numbers and positions in power. Islam is given preferential treatment, and Christian activities are often limited.

Christians may be subjected to threats and violence because of their faith. And yet, even in this hard place, the gospel of Jesus Christ is gaining a foothold through radio because of the generosity of Words of Hope supporters. Broadcasts in 22 different tribal languages can now be heard in this island country, bringing a geographically separated church together under one shared gospel of grace.
