Brief History
In April 2001, a group of Indonesians in Singapore were concerned about the spiritual situation of the significant number of Indonesian graduates in Singapore. They felt it would be very strategic to reach out to them for God's kingdom and so, got together to form a group. On 13 April 2001, the IGCF was founded and accepted as a ministry of GCF.
The IGCF also challenges new graduates to live out the vision and their calling where God has placed them and partners with the FES Indonesian Ministry in doing graduates' ministry. A strong supporter of the Indonesian student ministry, the IGCF reaches out to the final-year students from the Indonesian Students Christian Fellowship (ISCF) groups.
