Ariyani pursued theological studies because she hoped to be on stage, performing in her church, to be “seen”. But when she arrived at CCTSI, she soon realised God had more plans for her life.

She began to develop a servant-hearted perspective on ministry. Students are regularly placed for assignments in communities across Indonesia, mainly without a Christian presence, where they faithfully learn to love the people there.

At first, Aryiani had to find the courage to brave the ‘adventurous’ roads and serve in the rural villages. Now, she says, “I have love. So, I look forward to going to the villages to share that love.”

This Easter, you can help develop emerging Christian leaders like Ariyani. By investing in these local leaders, you are part of the shared mission to transform lives through God’s love.

Together, we can inspire emerging leaders to bring positive change, and share the hope and love of Christ with those around them.
