Rooted in Christ. Serving Children in Indonesia with Love, Truth, and Hope.
Shining Light Ministry began with a simple calling: help children know they are seen, loved, and created for God’s purpose. Today, that calling continues through discipleship, practical care, church partnership, and faithful service in Indonesia.
A ministry already active, proven, and growing.
For years, Shining Light Ministry has been serving children and supporting local churches in Indonesia through practical care, discipleship, and steady community partnership.
Children ages 6 to 16 are supported through Bible study, mentorship, learning support, and weekly care.
The ministry began in 2010 and has continued through prayer, sacrifice, and faithful local ministry.
New worship spaces have been established to support teaching, prayer, discipleship, and community life.
Ongoing building work reflects long-term partnership and a continued investment in local ministry.
From one burden to lasting ministry
What began as a quiet act of obedience grew into support for children, churches, pastors, and underserved communities in Indonesia.
One calling. One step of faith. A growing work of hope in Indonesia.
Shining Light Ministry began in 2010 when Lusye Luleh felt a clear burden from God to help children continue their education and know they were deeply loved. What started with prayer and personal sacrifice became a steady ministry of practical care, discipleship, and encouragement.
Over time, that work expanded beyond school support. The ministry began helping sponsor pastors, provide food for struggling families, renovate damaged school spaces, and build churches for communities that had no place to gather for worship, teaching, and prayer.
“Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Matthew 5:16What began with one burden grew into steady care, discipleship, and local partnership.
Shining Light Ministry did not grow all at once. It grew step by step through prayer, sacrifice, trusted relationships, and a long-term commitment to children and communities in Indonesia.
A calling to help children stay in school
The ministry began when Lusye Luleh felt led to help children who wanted an education but could not afford school fees. What started as personal obedience became the first step of a much larger work.

Shining Light Ministry grew one faithful step at a time. That same spirit still shapes the work today: meeting real needs, strengthening local churches, and helping children know they are seen, loved, and created for God’s purpose.
The ministry is guided by a simple purpose and a long-term hope.
