How your support is reaching into isolated places When God called Pastor Arus to share the gospel in Balepe, Toraja, a remote community on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia, he had his work cut out for him.

people groups speak languages that are unfamiliar and sometimes unwritten.
The challenging road conditions, strong cultural ties and unified spiritual beliefs made his mission difficult—but not impossible.
Once the people grew to know and trust Pastor Arus, only then did he begin to share about Jesus.
