That small town named Senggarang

Senggarang is a name of a small town some where in Riau Kepulauan a part in Sumatera island, Indonesia. Last March 2009 me with the mission team from my church visited this place. I never been to this place before so it brand new experience to me. This place around one hour by boat from Batam island, still a part of Indonesia. But we can't reach this place directly instead of need to continue by car from the boat port. So to reach this place need almost 2 hours.
Before we stepped in to this town when the pastor gave some explanation about this place what came into my thought was a common town, you know what I mean. But the fact was not like that. Senggarang could be say as an unique town. Builded not on the ground but on the sea!
But please don't think they are all poor peoples! Most of them are rich peoples.
Most of the recidents are Chinesse and their religion is Budha. Only two or three families who are Christian. There's a church standing among the houses of residents. Praise the Lord!
Senggarang really need touch by the Gospel. The peoples in Senggarang are rich but they are poor and suffer and thirsty of Gospel.

Is any one willing to go there and spread the Gospel among the peoples in Senggarang??
