Medan is the capital and largest city of the Indonesian province of North Sumatra. The huge Maimun Palace and octagonal Great Mosque of Medan dominate the city center, combining Islamic and European styles.
The city’s location makes it the main hub of international trade in western Indonesia, with exports going to North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Quite a few international companies maintain offices in Medan.
The city has 72 registered universities, polytechnics, and colleges, and it is home to 2.4 million people.
Most of Medan’s inhabitants are Muslim, accounting for approximately 66% of the population. The substantial Christian demographic (about 25% of the total population) includes Catholics, Methodists, Lutherans, and the Batak Christian Protestant Church. Buddhists make up about 9% of the population, and there are smaller Hindu, Confucian, and Sikh communities.
“Lo straniero che soggiornerà presso di voi sarà per voi come un nativo in mezzo a voi e lo amerete come voi stessi, poiché eravate forestieri nel paese d'Egitto; Io sono il Signore tuo Dio».
Levitico 19:34 (NIV)
