General Information: 

Indonesia is a large archipelago made up of over 17,000 islands and 583 languages. It is the largest nation in the world that consists of the majority religion, with a total population of over 200 million. Thirty percent of the population lives below the poverty line. The Alliance first entered Indonesia in 1929, and now the national church has grown and is self-sustaining with multiple Bible schools across the nation where pastors and teachers are trained for ministry to reach the lost.

Language Expectations: 

Language is an essential part of ministry. Those who do not know the language will attend a language study program.

Dedicate several hours per day to language acquisition and then continue to make mastery of the Indonesian language a lifelong goal, as this will greatly enhance ministry and ability to impact people for Christ. The goal will be to speak, read, and write the language at a functional level in order to mentor, teach, and train others. Teaching at the school will be done in Indonesian.  

Health Considerations: 

Well-trained doctors and most medications are readily available. Serious health issues are usually handled in Jakarta or Singapore.  

Expectations for Spouse: 

Spousal roles vary based on the spouse’s gifts, training, and abilities as well as the needs of the team. It is expected that both spouses will be meaningfully involved in meeting ministry objectives depending on the nature of family roles, children, etc. 

It is anticipated that the spouse will help with campus needs in a way that fits her/his gifts, as well as interacting with and discipling students.  

Children’s Educational Plan and Options: 

Local Christian schools are available, as well as some international schools depending on the place of assignment. There are also several choices of boarding schools (two in Indonesia and one in Malaysia), as well as a homeschooling option.
