The Indonesian-speaking diaspora
Indonesian Christians in the UK and Netherlands are often from the eastern Indonesian islands (Sulawesi, Maluku, Timor, Flores), where Christianity has deep historical roots from Portuguese and Dutch colonial mission. They attend both Indonesian-specific congregations and mainstream English-language or Dutch-language churches. In Australia, the Indonesian Christian diaspora is particularly large in Sydney and Perth. Many Indonesian students at UK universities attend English-language evangelical churches and benefit significantly from Indonesian translation.
Bible availability in Indonesian
The Indonesian Bible (Alkitab) has multiple versions: the Terjemahan Baru (TB, 1974 and revised), the Bahasa Indonesia Sehari-hari (BIS), and the Alkitab Masa Kini (AMK). Bahasa Indonesia is also the language of the flourishing Indonesian Pentecostal and charismatic church movement.
Using Voco for Indonesian church translation
Bahasa Indonesia is a unifying national language understood by Christians from all regional Indonesian backgrounds, making it ideal as a single translation option for mixed Indonesian diaspora congregations. For churches serving Indonesian international students, workers, or established diaspora families, Indonesian translation via Voco is a practical and low-cost pastoral provision.
