Our field is growing rapidly.  We currently have 136 children.*  We represent 9 sending countries.**  We anticipate continued growth as the Lord keeps the door open here in Indonesia.  (There are 16 more kids on my “enroute” list!)  By His grace we would like to be preparing for the future, supporting families that are here to share the Good News with the isolated peoples of Indonesia!

*   Preschoolers (60)
K-6 (58)
7-8 (8)
9-12 (10)
 
** Sending Countries: USA (42 families), Germany (2), Korea (1), Singapore (1), Swiss (1), Indonesia (1), UK (1), Canada (3), Australia (1)
[Some families cover two sending countries.]
