'The Way of Righteousness' for the Madurese

99.87% of the Madurese people are Muslim, and only 0.05% of their community know Jesus. TWR is endeavoring to reach them with the gospel in a way that connects with their worldview. 

 
Most of the Madurese are zealous followers of Islam, and it is extremely challenging to reach them through traditional methods of evangelism. Some have never even heard the good news.

Anyone who attempts to leave the faith experiences strong pressure to return. Those who decide to take that step pay a high price – fractured family ties, broken friendships and the sundering of existing relationships. 

Media can help to bridge these barriers to hearing the gospel.

TWR’s Indonesian national partner is currently producing The Way of Righteousness programs in the Madurese language. This program shares Old Testament stories that point to Jesus as being more than just a prophet; he is the Son of God who gave his life for our salvation.

We expect to complete production of all 100 episodes by the end of this year. The team has already begun distributing the completed programs via audio players to listener groups so that listeners may experience the hope that only Christ can give.

We praise God for what he is doing in the lives of our listeners! Here are some of their inspiring testimonies:

“The Way of Righteousness program explained that many prophets wrote their messages in the Scriptures, but there is only one author who inspired them – God himself. The Scriptures contain many stories written by the prophets, but the main message is about the good news of how humanity can become holy before God. Without holiness, no one can stand worthy before the Lord. I am a sinner, and I thank God for making me worthy through Christ, who came for me.”

“I didn’t understand before, but now I see why God inspired the prophets to write the Scriptures. He inspired them so that every generation could know what God wants them to understand about his works. God spoke to the prophets because he wants to speak to me, too, through their writings. I realize that everything God revealed to the prophets is still very relevant for us today. Thank you for this program in the Madurese language.”

“The Scriptures are the oldest writings in the world, yet they remain so relevant to every person’s life today. There is nothing more important than the Word of God. It is like rice and fish – both are not only delicious but also nourishing for the body. Only when I eat them do they benefit me. I must consume and enjoy God’s Word for it to nourish my soul. Thank you for this inspiring topic about God and his Word.”
