I would like to share some personal updates as well as well as ask you to pray for us.

Personal Updates:

We are very blessed by God, where we can pass through the year of 2024. Several things were happening in our life and ministries, miracles and wonders we had. Joseph, our youngest, he passed secondary school and is going to high school, and he got into the favorite school in the town of Tabanan. Ricco passed his bachelor's degree with a cum laude result. Myself and Eka had a chance to visit Australia in October, which was a great blessing as well. Nico, our second son, is still in seminary, and he's nominated as a vice senator of his campus.

During all those great blessings, I also passed through a trial where I had back pain, but by God's grace, that was cured, and I'm back to normal health. And also, our visa application for the USA was rejected by the USA consulate in Jakarta, but we still believe that God's plan is the best for us.

The ministries are running very well. The church is growing in number, and the children's ministry (Kids Reach Out) is very effective for us to spread the good news. HIV ministries are also a very good tool for us to penetrate the community that we consider an unreached people group.

I really thank God that we are surrounded by godly people where we can feel the warmth of fellowship and constant prayer support, which enables us to stand firm and share our faith with the surrounding community.

Church Planting Updates & Prayer Requests

Land Challenges at New Post:

The team is facing difficulties at their new village location due to a significant land slide that occurred after digging the foundation. This unexpected event has impacted the building site, including the house of prayer.

Fundraising Efforts:

To address the land slide issue, they are planning to sell a motorbike to raise funds for purchasing essential building materials like stones, sand, and cement to stabilize the ground.

Church Planting Progress:

Despite the challenges, the team continues their church planting mission in the village. They are using water-related services as a strategic approach to connect with local families and build community relationships.

Future Plans:

The team is working on establishing a water business installation at a new location, as they were recently asked to leave their previous site by the non-believing owner.
