Before The Lamb

Sesungguhnya, suatu kumpulan besar orang banyak yang tidak dapat terhitung banyaknya, dari SEGALA BANGSA dan SUKU dan KAUM dan BAHASA, berdiri di hadapan takhta dan di hadapan Anak Domba, memakai jubah putih dan memegang daun-daun palem di tangan mereka. Dan dengan SUARA NYARING mereka BERSERU:

“Keselamatan bagi Allah kami yang duduk di atas takhta dan bagi Anak Domba!”

(Wahyu 7:9-10)

And behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from EVERY NATION, from ALL TRIBES and PEOPLES and LANGUAGES, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and CRYING OUT with LOUD VOICE:

“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

(Revelation 7:9-10)

Bringing God’s Word to The Vidunda People

A year ago Lara Williams and Katie Orr launched Savoring Living Water and soon after set a goal to fund 104 verse for the Vidunda people, through OneVerse.
They are about 16 verses away ($410) from their goal, and they are praying they can meet it all in one day, TODAY!
Here are the details:
We all have the Bible in our hands in various English versions and even on our smart phones. We have access to the Word of the Living God at any time we can and anywhere we go. Please pray for the Vidunda people, who are waiting for the Word of God available in their heart language. And you can be part of God’s amazing plan, to bring the Word of God to these people. They have waited too long!
Thank you and Be blessed!

Scriptures for Them

Imagine facing each day without knowing God. Or, imagine not having a Bible to read in your language.

Every day hundreds of millions of people speaking more than 2,000 unique languages face life without the comfort of God’s Word — not even ONE verse of Scripture — in their language.

Prayer For Salvation During Month of Ramadan

Ramadan is the month when all the Muslim will fast – from dawn until sunset – from eating & drinking, sexual relations, forged speed and evil actions, increased recitation of the Quran. Their hope to receive spiritual reward from Allah and be multiplied. During the month of Ramadan, the Muslims fast for the sake of demonstrating submission to God and to offer more prayer than usual (from Wikipedia). More about Ramadan you also can find at 30-Days Prayer Network.

This year, the month of Ramadan starts on July 20th through August 18th, it is the Month of Ramadan for the Muslim people in the world. We, as believers, also can get involved during this month by praying for the Muslims in the world, praying for their salvation, praying that they will see the True God, praying that they will be received the revelation of God about Isa-Almasih, the Son of God.

The 30-days Prayer Network encourages and provides the guide how to pray for the Muslim countries during this month of Ramadan. You can join their Facebook Page and Twitter to get updates during the 30-days prayer. At their website, they provide lots of reading materials related to Muslims and how to minister to them. It is also available for Kids and Family, in PDF format or booklet.

Another website where you can learn more about Muslims and how to minister to them is Isa and Islam.  This Website is in English and Indonesian, their desire is:

….. to help other people of faith discover and understand Isa Al-Masih (Jesus the Messiah) from the perspective of both the Quran and the Bible.

Furthermore, we are members of the community of the faithful ones who diligently study the Bible and Islamic writings. For many years we have had meaningful dialogues with Muslims and Christians. We are grateful and humbled by the wisdom that God has given us to understand and speak about these two great world religions.

Indonesia is a country with

  • about 80% of over 230 million people are Muslims, the most Muslim population in the world (from Operation World)
  • 784 people groups (from Joshua Projects).
  • about 722 language groups (from Ethnologue).

Those are some facts about the country where I was born and raised. God has put Indonesia in my heart and show me how much He loves the people of Indonesia since 2004. Since that day, I cry and pray to God for all He will send more and more His workers for the harvest is ready there.

Would you pray with me for the Muslims in the World and Indonesia? Would you pray and ask God what He wants you to do to reach out these people?

Easter Egg Hunt

"You Love bind us in unity, O God, together we come to worship you, O Lord, our Savior and Living King!"

Abigail was TOO Excited for this Egg Hunting experience. She actually knew what to do and what to expect when she opened her eggs (plastic eggs!). We went to a Combine Easter Service of 4 Indonesian churches (IBC, IFGF, ICF and Catholic) in Columbus on Easter afternoon. After praise and worship time, they released all the children out to their rooms, divided them in 2 age-categories (so the big kids won’t get the little kids’ eggs… hehehehe….). From there, there where some ladies helped this kids to have their Easter Egg Hunt adventure begun!
