The multiplication of disciples among the least, last, and lost in Indonesia.
Mission Indonesia
Jesus was moved with compassion for both the spiritual and physical needs of people, and He took concrete action to address them. In the same way, we want to love our neighbors and make people His disciples, in word and deed.
Mission Indonesia is part of the Frontline Mission work of YWAM (Youth with a Mission / Jeugd met een Opdracht) in Indonesia and represents it in the Netherlands. We are a team that originated from YWAM Heidebeek and have been living and working in Indonesia since 2013.
Our motto is to know God and make Him known. Our desire is to be disciples of Jesus, which means loving God and following Him in whatever He asks of us. This motivates us to love others and share the gospel with the unreached people groups of Indonesia.
Within our network in Indonesia, there are 6 teams working in various locations and islands. Most of these teams are made up of Indonesian missionaries, and while some are just starting out, others are already seeing much fruit.
Reach the Unreached
God is looking for people who are willing to go to places where His gospel has not yet reached. Are you ready to go and make His love and grace known to all people? Then we challenge you to join Mission Indonesia! Together with your team, you will live in Indonesia. From Heidebeek, you will receive the support you need in your preparations. Once you arrive in Indonesia, you will start by learning the language. You can join us for the long term or initially for a year to discover what God has in store for you afterward.
Wana tribe
In a remote area of Sulawesi, Indonesia, a team is supporting the Wana tribe through education, evangelism, and economic initiatives. They teach children basic literacy and math while sharing the Gospel, leading to over 5,000 conversions. The team also helps locals grow crops like cacao and coconuts, improving their economy. Small schools and healthcare projects have been established, and seven other initiatives and churches operate independently. The project focuses on strengthening the tribe with education, leadership training, and developing local pastors, aiming to empower the Wana to sustain their future. This work is supported by a foundation focused on spreading the Gospel and community development.
Project Levend Water
In Indonesia, poor water quality leads to serious health issues, including diarrhea, the leading cause of death for children under five. Every year, 100,000 babies die due to lack of clean water. The Living Water project addresses this by distributing water filters from the Netherlands, improving water quality and paired with hygiene education. This provides clean drinking water and creates opportunities to share the Gospel.
Adopt a Worker
Indonesian missionaries play a key role in reaching remote groups that are difficult for foreign missionaries to access. However, supporting their livelihoods can be a challenge, as their network may not always offer enough financial assistance. Adopt a Worker provides financial support to these missionaries, allowing them to focus on their mission. For security reasons, the missionaries aren’t listed online, but you can request a brochure by emailing adoptaworker@ywam.nl.
