Field cost: $2165 plus roundtrip airfare, required travel insurance, passport & pre-trip visa costs, immunizations
The team will spend a significant amount of their time in frontline engagement (prayer & evangelism). In our province, the total population is 3.7 million people with only 2.4% of them identifying as Evangelical Christian. Additionally, there is a huge student population because there are over 100 universities in the province, providing many opportunities for college students from the States to engage Indonesian college students. However, evangelism engagement will not only be limited to college students as the city affords many other opportunities to engage people on the streets. The team will primarily look for opportunities to evangelize English-speaking nationals in local coffee shops and cafes, in roadside food stalls, parks, and other public places where people tend to gather throughout the province. Additionally, team members may also have opportunities to share testimonies and/or short devotional teachings in local churches and/or at campus ministry gatherings located throughout the province. We are not looking for “experts” but rather people who are humbly willing to serve, willing to be learn, willing to faithfully proclaim the gospel and willing to intercede on behalf of those who are desperately lost in our province. Outside of evangelism and prayer walking, the team will have other opportunities to partner with other local ministries, explore the province, learn about local history and culture, and see many historical sites.

Alert! Please do not consider this job if you are not willing to be challenged deeply. For those of you who are willing to let the Lord shake & shape you... Welcome, this may be the place for you this summer.

Or light a fire in someone’s heart to share the love of Christ on university campuses that will keep burning when you return home, as we seek Him to powerfully work among university students. Lastly, you may be more wired to disciple those who have believed and help them further understand how to live as a World Christian.
