A few years ago in 1991, a young man by the name of
Yohanes Supriyanto came from Surabaya East Java into the undeveloped island of
Bintan .
After surveying the area and finding much work to be done, he felt strongly that is his calling to help the destitute and helpless in this island in1993 he married sweetheart Elizabet.B.Mumpuni and together they started a Christian Ministry called Mercy Ministry Social Foundation “Anugerah” meaning “Grace” Registered in 1992 with the Indonesia Ministry of Social handicapped and isolated / unreached among just a portion of the 1300 Riau Islands, Spreading Christ Love.
Years before, Yohanes himself was from a poor family who were helped by a christian charitable institution in Surabaya East Java as he grew up, it made a strong impression on him, and he dedicate that his life would be dedicated to helping others just like him. He partnered with a few other people to star an orphanage in Surabaya, felling the burden to reach out to the poor, helpless and orphans.
As it thrived, he felt the Macedonian call to the island of Bintan, and together with his Wife and other partners, they have been laboring faithfully and living among the poor in the area.
