I have been in Jakarta since Thursday evening. Friday morning was a miscommunication but turned out to be an opportunity for the Lord to work a miracle (See red below). In the evening, five of us celebrated the wedding anniversary of Tri and Kim, a couple who started FLO with us and continues to work closely but because of business pressures no longer are committed as core committee. We had lots of fun.

My Jakarta team (Ira and Liana) and I start out tomorrow (Monday 18th) for a week long outreach to Central Java. We will have Full Gospel Businessmen meetings, church gatherings, women’s meetings, a two day seminar on healing, which will culminate in a community healing service, where participants will practice what they learned. We will be connecting with some old friends and making new ones along the way.

I hope to have lots of pictures and stories when I get back.

Friday morning when we arrived at the house where we were scheduled to have a meeting, the hostess was stunned! She thought it was next week. Well, we prayed for her, and she was touched by the power of God and had a great time, but the real story is in he mother, who came out to see what the commotion was about. She could not walk without leaning on somebody or something, it was painful for her to get up, to sit down, to walk, in short, to do anything. After we prayed for her, she felt much stronger, could walk alone, and had no more pain in her body. Saturday we received a text message that now she is climbing stairs and walking unaided without pain! Our God is still in the business of miracles!

AFTER I RETURN TO SURABAYA, I will have a retreat with managers of a furniture factory (originally scheduled for May 8-10 but rescheduled) June 12-14. Theme is Journey into Space and will be to reshape managers’ paradigms. Major change requested is for the managers to have a feeling of ownership. I met with the team of 10 in-company committee and intercessors last week, and we mapped out a program for the two days and nights that is exciting.

Also coming:

Wedding for Yanet, one of the faithful Monday evening group, on June 7. She has been with us since the beginning, ten years now. I am not sure when we started, maybe I should go back and look it up and have a celebration. She is one of four of the original group that attends. Two (Eric and Sonja) are a married couple, one (Helen) was married two years ago and now has a two month old daughter Sara Ann. Others have gotten married, had kids and moved on.

Cita Hati Graduation June 4 and 5, with end of year school teacher/staff fellowship on Saturday 6th.
