Lighting Up the Community

I

n the western regions of Indonesia, vast expanses of greenery grace the landscape. Many people have moved here from the city to work on tea and rubber plantations. They came seeking a better life, but they faced new challenges with their living conditions.

The pressing needs of the community caught the attention of Global Mission pioneers Iwan and Jamal.

“We advocated for electricity installation through discussions with government representatives,” Jamal said. “Praise God, they now have access to power. We also constructed toilets. This is our way of demonstrating our care for the locals here.”

The pioneers also provided education for the community children, most of whom didn’t attend school. Through meeting the people’s needs, they have built strong friendships with them.

“My desire for our fellow community members is for them to undergo a transformation, to be lifted from their constant struggles so they may enhance . . . spirituality,” said Jamal.

The pioneers’ dedication to serving this community has made a positive impact on its children and their parents.

“I love when Mr. Jamal and Mr. Iwan come to our place,” said Dedeh, a community member. “My children eagerly anticipate the moments when they can meet Mr. Jamal and Mr. Iwan. Their genuine compassion and warm-hearted nature resonate deeply with my kids.”

Jamal requests your prayers. “Kindly pray for us to maintain our passion in serving and for the well-being of the souls we aid. . . . We aim for Jesus’ mission to resonate within the hearts of every individual we serve in this place.”

Thank you for supporting Global Mission pioneers, such as Iwan and Jamal, who serve Jesus sacrificially in their corner of the world.
