A WEBSITE DEDICATED TO THE SUNDANESE Come, join us in sharing some information
about the Sundanese. Yes, thats the Sundanese of West Java,
Indonesia. We are not talking about the Sudanese who are African
people. People really get them mixed up.
The Sundanese are one of the largest ethnic populations
in the world - about 35 million members. Normally, you will find
them on the internet under the name Sunda which is their Indonesian
name. That is why our website is Sunda.org. However, what is unusual about our website is we
are talking from the perspective of Christian Sundanese. Wait
a minute, you may say, the Sundanese are Muslim people.
Thats right, but there are also about 15,000 Christian Sundanese.
It is not a large percentage of the population but it is a significant
number.
Some of those who hit this website in the past few
years were upset that we
were talking about Christian teaching and Christian activity for
the Sundanese. They feel the gospel should not be given to the Sundanese
because they already have a religion. Everyone is entitled to their
own opinion. But what about the Sundanese who want to hear the gospel?
Should they not be able to hear? Well, some say, no.
But we say, Yes. What glory does God get if a person
doesnt choose what to believe about him? We feel that our YES is based on Gods word.
Jesus said, Go into all the world and preach the gospel.

We can field Indonesian language questions as well as English. Our
Indonesian will not be perfect but we think you will be able to
understand it.
