Peace in Christ

Thank God and Jesus Christ our Lord for His love and blessing which help me in this study and for my health in the first months of being in Batam. My big hope is to progress in knowing of the truth and the word of God as this will allow me to serve the church in Solo, Central Java. My progress in preaching during chapel is encouraging to me.

Thank you very much for your help in providing such a facility and good food in this school so we can be healthy. Please keep me in your prayer, especially pray for God's protection of my five year old daughter and wife whom I had to leave behind in Solo to study in Batam. I thank God and Rejoice that I can study in Batam Bible College by good teachers who have knowledge of the bible like Brothers Winston, Herbin, Ferdinand, and the teachers from Sunset International Bible Institute in America.

When I have passed my study I will go back to Solo to evangelize and establish the church around the town and other towns in Java. My hope is to become a good evangelist and preacher, through my evangelism in Solo the church becomes mature and grows day after day in faith and quantity.

My warm regard to my brothers and sisters who help me.
