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.
