VISION To reach out to the slum areas with the love of Jesus, knowing that real transformation occurs when people experience and understand the living God in their lives and among them. To encourage people to reach their God-given potential and to help them know that they are valued and loved, and that the kingdom of God is in their midst. IT IS ABOUT: We are committed to helping the poor help themselves, through education and skills training. We do teaching on basic healthcare and hygiene, basic checkups and minor treatments. In the near future, we want to set up a place in or near the slum area that will serve as an educational/skills centre for the poor. We hope to have books for children and adults, English and guitar classes for those who would have interest. The goal is to share the love of Jesus with them through the above activities. We facilitate teams to serve people in the slums. They do needs assessment, visit families, and build relationships. Teams also offer help in which ever way they can such as food distribution, medical and dental needs, children’s programs, family counseling etc. “Jakarta Post” News article on the Slum Ministry.
