As of 2010, Indonesia's population was over 232 million people. Christians hold 15% of the population while Muslims come to 80%. "Islam's strength and influence in numbers and power allow it to exert itself on the religious scene, giving itself preferential treatment and limiting Christian activities and public presence. Such power also enables the use of violence, mass demonstrations and threats to achieve its socio-political goals" (Operation World by Jason Mandryk). Natural disasters are common and cause many to become homeless or displaced. There are also very few teachers and disciples here.
