Introduction / History

The Indonesians in Hong Kong have more migrants than any other immigrant group here except for those from the Philippines. People from Indonesia began to come to Hong Kong in the 1960s. These were Chinese Indonesians who found life in Indonesia difficult as they were not looked on favorably. The Indonesians in Hong Kong live in several regions of the Island. They speak Javanese and Indonesian.


What Are Their Lives Like?

Most Indonesians in Hong Kong are domestic workers. The migrant workers tend to be low paid. Indonesians here tend not to use banks in general but use friends and other means for sending money. Many Indonesians have said their families have used the money to begin businesses.

Indonesians have Islamic NGOs that help them to learn Arabic and the Koran. There are some Islamic schools here that are usually looked after by these NGOs.


What Are Their Beliefs?

The Indonesians in Hong Kong are Sunni Muslims. About half the Muslims in Hong Kong are from Indonesia.


What Are Their Needs?

Indonesians in Hong Kong need to understand their need for a sin free savior who paid for their sins with his own blood.


Prayer Points

Pray for Indonesians in Hong Kong to disciple many.
Pray that God gives the Indonesians in Hong Kong dreams and visions leading them to salvation.
Pray that gospel materials bring them to Jesus Christ.


Scripture Prayers for the Indonesian in China.
