The Evangelical Christian Church in Timor / Gereja Mashehi Injili di Timor (GMIT) is the second largest protestant church in Indonesia with 1,072 ministers in 2,104 congregations serving around 1.5 million members.
Even though GMIT is a large denomination, its people are among the poorest in Indonesia with the vast majority living in rural areas.
GMIT may be described as Reformed in its theology with a special emphasis on the authority of Scripture and a desire to be both contextual and holistic in its mission.
PCI has had a partnership with GMIT since 1972, when Ken and Valerie Newell arrived in East Indonesia.
