HISTORY
Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world with a total population of 275 million people. Approximately 10% of the population professes to be Christians. One of the largest Christian groups is the Batak people. They number approximately 8.5 million - mostly residing in North Sumatra.
Pdt. Dr. dr. Paul Choo started preaching to churches in Indonesia in the early 2000's. After having preached in churches all over Indonesia, he focused his preaching ministry to the Batak churches because he saw the greatest potential for the enlargement of God's Kingdom there.
PIC Indonesia started in March 2017 in Pematangsiantar, North Sumatra Indonesia. The launch was attended by 50 pastors from different church denominations (mostly from Batak churches).
From that humble beginning in Pematangsiantar, PIC Indonesia expanded to 42 PIC Indonesia centers in different towns/districts in Batak Toba, Batak Simalungun, Batak Karo, Batak Angkola, and Batak Pakpak regions in North Sumatra. The pastors and church leaders met once a month to learn different topics on leadership through video recordings of Dr. Paul Choo. After the training sessions, meals were served for the participants, so that pastors from different churches had the opportunity to fellowship and learn from each other.
Besides the leadership training, other workshops such as “Preaching the Gospel Effectively”, “Evangelism in the 21st Century” and “Couples Retreat” were conducted. PIC Indonesia also arranged international learning trips to Kuala Lumpur and Singapore for its promising participants.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, more Indonesian pastors, seminary students, and church leaders are being reached out and ministered to through online platforms.
