COMBINED CHRISTIAN RESPONSE

Abbalove Ministries, NCD Indonesia, Lumbung Project, Bina Mandiri Foundation, Pelayanan Bersama Indonesia Foundation, Bless Indonesia Foundation and local churches in various places all around Indonesia have together founded a Crisis Centre for earthquake victim handling. Crisis Centres have been set up in Jakarta, Medan, Nias and Banda Aceh and we already sent 40 people to tsunami areas in Aceh and North Sumatra. These people have been functioning as medical teams, counselling team and food & beverages team. Several local churches from Hong Kong and Taiwan, which are parts of Cell Church Mission Network, are going to join the teams themselves, as well as CityTeam from the US, which will soon join to work together in the fields starting on January 20. Christian churches and organizations have gathered to act in short term and long term projects as follows:

Short-term projects:

  • Drilling wells

  • Emergency toilets

  • Places for cooking

  • Water purifiers

  • Medical teams

Long-term projects:

  • Counselling Centres

  • Clinics

  • Kindergartens

  • Church Planting Movement

The largest ever Indonesian Christian response is underway and facing the distribution and "technical" difficulties like everyone else. Fortunately, we have a gathering army of volunteers but it will still take a few days to have all the administrative machinery in place to adequately cope with the situation.

 
FINANCES

Since it is our desire to offer donors the promise that 100% of their gifts go only to the victims of this tragedy, we are making a separate and special MINISTRY APPEAL for the administrative, travel and communication costs of operating the crisis centres over the next three months. Please help us in this regard, as this will make the ministry of sharing Christ’s love to the devastated victims run much more smoothly.
