Indonesia Mission Trips
Composed of over 17,000 islands, Indonesia is the largest island nation on earth.
Though it has the fourth largest population in the world, barely a third of Indonesia’s islands are inhabited. The rest are so densely forested that they rival the Amazon jungle in their beauty and inaccessibility.
Indonesia’s motto of “many, yet one,” refers to its incredible diversity as a symbol of its unity. Over 700 languages are spoken throughout the country, which is the largest Muslim country in the world.
Will you share the unifying love of Jesus in this diverse country?
