• Heart for the Muslims?  Would you like to give up your life for God? 

  Below is part of an e-mail I received from Pastor Tandi in Indonesia about a "missionary training school" he hopes to begin.  Pastor Tandi is the head of a Bible college on the island of Papua.  Honestly, if God had not already given me the work and visions for the orphanage ministry, I would really pray hard over this opportunity.  The classes taught and the experiences in service will no doubt be amazing.  You would have to go way out of your comfort zone in going, but God tends to use us best when we do just that and have to rely on Him.  Read through it.  Its time for the workers to hear the call of God, rise up, and go out in His name! 

  Pastor Tandi:  I have established a mission organization called Shalom Ministry Fellowship of Indonesia (SMFI). The main purpose of SMFI is to recruit and train people who are really committed for doing cross-cultural ministry to bring the Gospel to the receptive people and plant local churches in Indonesia. We will select the applicants carefully and train them for 5 months each term. The first term will begin  on August through December 2007. Every term we will accept maximum 8 people. Because the house that we use as training center and mission house can accommodate 8 people. We will teach them practice subjects that I think is needed in the mission field such as power encounter, powerful prayers, spiritual maturity, spiritual warfare, strategic and effective approach to win the Muslim, inner healing, team-work building, etc.

  We plan to start in August and then in December we will send them to the places that need to be evangelized.

  Please pray that God will send right people to be trained and equipped as good soldier of Christ Jesus who are willing to endure hardship for the Christ sake and for the extension of God’s kingdom in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world.

  If you have friends who have burden for reaching the Muslims for Christ, please let them to be involved in this project. I believe this is the time to do God’s mission for reaching the Muslims in Indonesia.

  We need four double-bed, cooking utensils, white board, chairs and tables for learning process. We really start this ministry only by faith. Our income is derived from donation of  SMFI members (11 people). Each of us made a faith promise to give for this ministry. Every month we need about US $ 500. We plan to provide all the needs of those who are trained. That means they do not have to pay the tuition fees.
