FEBRUARY 2011 Chinese New Year is perhaps the major event this month in Indonesia. I spent it with my Indonesian family, eating out with them on the eve, and joining them for a family gathering with all six brothers and families.
ANAK TERANG
Four of the youth from the Chinese Church joined us and made presentations to the kids, presenting each child with a traditional (for Chinese) envelope with money in it. Part of Chinese New Years tradition among the Chinese.

CHINESE CONNECTION
In Hawaii, I was blessed with working with the Chinese speaking church there, and with New Life which is just a block away in Chinatown and also works with them.
In Surabaya, a Chinese Church ‘Harvest’ has requested me to work with their teens. I have met with them twice now and maybe it will work out. Never imagined I would be a ‘Youth Pastor!’
FLO (For Lovers Only)Monday 20 was Reunion for Jakarta. 8 couples found their way to the remote venue (most of the pastors have remote locations) along with four pastors whose wives could not attend. It was great seeing them face to face again.
I also met with the committee planning the next FLO RETREAT for Jakarta area, March 21-23. We now have ten candidate couples.
