NEW POSTING WITH PHOTOS

SCHOOL:
My schedule intensifies, now spending two full days a week instead of two half days, plus special events. Working with 3 different campuses. Thursday 24th I made a presentation at an all-school faculty/staff fellowship. I was given a film and asked to draw lessons from it. Lots of work, but fun and rewarding! Presentation is about 40 minutes from the 10 minute film ‘RAIN’ a Nooma film by Rob Bell, if you might know it.

YOUTH
We are averaging 8 to 10 each meeting. and they are also bringing friends and relatives by during the week for prayer.
One brought her aunt to be prayed for to have a child, married 9 years now and barren. Doctors say there are cysts. Her husband came and we prayed for his back first. He complained that for 6 years he has had a persistent back ache, and it was bothering him then. All pain disappeared when we prayed for him. The wife got excited when she saw him healed, and said she also had a bad back. As she described it, she said it was inside. As we prayed, evil spirit (s?) began to manifest and soon we were in the midst of a deliverance session. About half hour later she said she was free, a big smile on her face. Then we prayed for the couple to have a child. My track record in praying for babies is pretty good, so I am hopeful in hearing good news from them soon.


Sunday Feb 13 I preached in this church which is very near my apartment, pastor attended our FLO Retreat last year. They reported that the congregation had become much more enthusiastic and involved sins then, and attributed it to the fact that they were set free in FLO.


Thursday 17th was a surprise 50th birthday celebration for Yusup. He’s the guy I always stayed with in Surabaya before I got the apartment. He still works as head chemist for developing detergence in a large firm here, and has started a church that now has two chapters, each meeting three times a Sunday (plus lots of mid-week prayer and small group meetings).

See panel at right with the schedule.
Mostly usual schedule: Monday and Wednesday at School, Wednesday evening youth at my apartment, every other Thursday afternoon with Anak Terang, Sundays with the Chinese Harvest Church after attending my ‘home church’ from 7:30 - 9:30
