CRM - Empowering Leaders

The Republic of Indonesia is the world’s largest Muslim nation. With a population of 238 million people, Indonesia is the world’s fourth largest country. Indonesia is also the world’s largest archipelago with more than 17,500 islands, 6000 of which are inhabited. The Indonesian people are racially of Malay and South Pacific origin. They make up 300 ethnic groups and nearly 250 spoken languages.

There are 128 major unreached people groups (UPGs)—distinct people groups with populations of more than 10,000 people, yet with less than 1% professing believers in Christ.

CRM staff work directly with Indonesian-led mission agencies and focus on planting contextually relevant churches (usually house churches) in UPGs in both urban and rural areas. CRM staff coach Indonesian mission leaders and partner with them to develop ministry systems that increase the effectiveness of their work. Financial resources for CRM's ministry in Indonesia are being creatively developed through domestic business opportunities.
