SEND’s Ministry

Muslims in this part of Southeast Asia—over 10 million people—have been ignored for centuries by messengers of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Team Hope is our answer to this need. Team Hope aims to be the physical presence of Christ in the midst of a large Muslim community, and to bring the message of our loving Lord, Jesus Christ. This multinational team ministers through education, community engagement, development farming, and community health. 

Spiritual Climate

Team Hope focuses on a Muslim group we call the Miga, who were first introduced to Islam by Arab traders nearly 1,000 years ago. They are disadvantaged and poor, often living on the fringes of land taken from them by immigrants from the north. The team builds bridges to Jesus while meeting this community’s significant needs through agricultural training, literacy development, tutoring, community health, and more. We have open doors to minister at a local university and in three unreached communities.

Team Goals

Team Hope needs followers of Jesus to help:

  • Communicate a culturally relevant biblical message in the heart language of Muslim peoples.
  • Share the gospel by telling biblical stories.
  • Develop leaders in ways that fit the local context.
  • Cultivate healthy families of faith that initiate Disciple Making Movements.
Life in Southeast Asia looks like:
  • Long conversations over fresh-cooked meals
  • Unexpected connections that spring from daily chores, like going to the market
  • Celebrating the harvest with mothers who have planted their first gardens to feed their families
  • Praying over people with significant health needs and few resources
  • Investing in college students who are the first in their families to attend university
  • Rejoicing in each step toward Jesus, knowing that the journey out of Islam can take time
Would you be a good fit for this team?

Members of Team Hope love Jesus, enjoy investing in relationships, like to tell a good story, and have a passion to serve Muslims. If this is you, consider:

  • Do you maintain a close walk with Jesus?
  • Are you committed, hard-working, and resilient?
  • Are you open to lifelong learning?
  • How do you act on your desire to see more Muslims following Jesus?
  • Are you willing to live simply in order to identify with the local community?

Members of Team Hope should demonstrate genuine love for people and intentionality in their time, skills, and conversations, in order to bring a Kingdom perspective of holistic ministry into the context of daily life and trusting relationships.

SEND’s Ministry
The vision for SEND in Indonesia is to be the presence of Jesus and bring the message of Jesus among the unreached Muslims. This vision will be fulfilled when there are movements of faithful disciples who gather together and reproduce among these people groups. We believe the best way to accomplish this goal is to implement holistic strategies that include both proclamation and presence. As each unreached people group is engaged, we want to learn from and about them. We want to see them have strong relationships, marriages, families, and communities who then have the capacity to bring Jesus to their natural social network and beyond. Our deepest desire is to see the Gospel spread to these healthy communities and then from these communities to more communities.
Spiritual Climate
Indonesia is home to more than 270 million people and is the world’s most populous Muslim nation. We have an urgency to bring the message of Jesus to those who have never had the opportunity to hear the truth.
Team Goals
  • Communicate a culturally relevant, biblical message in the heart language of Muslim Indonesians
  • Share the gospel by telling biblical stories
  • Cultivate healthy families of faith that initiate Disciple Making Movements (DMM)

Life in Indonesia looks like:

  • Learning the local language and practicing with neighbors and friends, and as you shop for food in the market
  • Being mentored by experienced ministry veterans and DMM strategists
  • Using your God-given gifts, abilities, and skills to share the message of Jesus in everyday life

Would you be a good fit for this new team?

To thrive in Indonesia, you will need:

  • A close, daily walk with Jesus.
  • A pioneering spirit and a love to pave the way for future teammates who will join you in being the presence of Jesus.
  • Passion in your love for Muslims and a commitment to the work of making disciples.
  • Excitement about partnering with experienced workers in Indonesia, many who are from different cultures and backgrounds.
