Nearly two months since I posted news or articles. I have been to Bali, to Hawaii, to Las Vegas, and Jakarta, arriving home Sunday July 6 just after sunset. I was treated to a wonderful homecoming on the ride home with a magnificent display of our Father’s handiwork!

BALI

Susi n Santi
Susi was the first feature in Shepherds and Sheep. She continues to phone and text me good questions about the Bible, and when I come to Bali she brings relatives, friends, neighbors, and anybody she can find to me for prayer. One of these on this trip was Santi, a friend who professed to have so many and such large problems that she was at wit’s end. Her husband is in jail and she can only see him once every three months or so. She works 12 hours a day 7 days a week, so does not see her young teen children much. Now her husband will get out in October and she doesn’t know what to do with him when that time comes!

The first question I asked Santi was if she had surrendered her life to Christ. She thought briefly and then said that she had not. I asked her if she wanted to, and she said yes. I thought she was a Christian, as most that Susi brings to me are. I led her in a short prayer and prayed for her to receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. She went limp for a short while then straightened up, and with an absolutely glowing face proclaimed with great joy “I’m Free!”

HONOLULU

Not too much to report except lots of holiday time and quite a bit of golf. Good time with host Bud and family. One Sunday speaking at Waianae Assembly of God. I love that church! Their song leaders are family, including kids, all enthusiastic about worshiping God!


MAILE

Of course this is the highlight of my trip, to see and spend time with my then 20 month old grand daughter. We went shopping, swimming, and to the fitness center together. Temperature outside was over 110 ever day, but mornings were OK for walks around the block with the dogs.

SURABAYA PRESENTATION MAN

I arrived at my apartment at 6PM on Sunday, what a wonderful feeling to be home again! At 9PM I received a call informing me I had a presentation to make at 8 AM the next morning. I got up at 3, prepared the powerpoint, and made the presentation. I was at school all day, until 5PM. Toward the end of the day, the Junior High principal asked me to change my presentation for School Focus (which I did 4 times Tuesday, will do again Thursday and again next week). Since my Monday night group came and stayed until after 10PM, I couldn’t work on the presentation that evening. I was just too tired. Up again at 4 AM after a very sound sleep to finish that one. The interesting thing is that for both presentations it was very easy. Each morning I awoke thinking of exactly what words and images I wanted. The time was in finding the right images in the computer!

We had Vertical Leap seminar 9 hours a day on Friday-Saturday 11 and 12. As always, it was wonderful time with the Lord in the worship times, and the teaching is always a bit different. I was in charge of the ‘Angels’ team of prayer support before and during the event. Several were healed of pains, mostly shoulders.


The MONDAY EVENING group cooked dinner last week, it was great. The major purpose of my renovation last year was to enlarge the kitchen to accommodate lots of cooks. It works!
