Indonesia

Country: Indonesia

Description: Of Indonesia's 240 million citizens, an estimated 86% are practicing Muslims, making this nation home to the world's largest Muslim population. The Muslim faith has penetrated all aspects of Indonesian nationality: government, education, politics, society, and entertainment. While it is a challenge to compete against the spread of this faith, General Mantiri and his team are working hard to empower and equip believers. Walk Thru the Bible's team focuses on using the 'Train the Trainer' method; they reach out to pastors, church leaders, and school teachers living across Indonesia's 17,000 islands. Leader by leader, Walk Thru the Bible is igniting a passion for God's Word that will change lives throughout their communities.
