Dear Ministry Partner,

Until the end of March this year, I continued to evaluate myself regarding what was happening in my family. My wife had to be hospitalized three times and underwent surgery two times. At the end of March, I also had to be hospitalized for three days because my blood pressure was increasing. One thing that amuses me is related to God's attributes; God is faithful. God is equally faithful to His promises of blessing and judgment. In the difficulties and suffering that my wife and I experienced, God remained faithful to His promise of blessing. I don't have to be afraid and worried but continue to trust in HIS help, knowing that HE will never fail.

Staff Update

In February, I was able to share and train the prospective Mamasa Area Coordinator, Pastor Daniel Pua Padang in Sumarorong, West Sulawesi. After this activity, I invited seven active teachers from Mamasa to gather and convey to them that Pastor Daniel had been chosen to carry out his duties as the Mamasa Area Coordinator and needed their support. Pastor Daniel started as Area Coordinator on March 1, 2024. 

I am very grateful for my visit to West Sulawesi. I took the time to meet with the Sumarorong class study participants who had stopped studying when they were about to finish book 9. I provided motivation to the students and teachers to resume studying so they can finish book 10 this year. Additionally, with the new Mamasa AC, we visited the Matana I class.

The new class in Southeast Sulawesi with 7 participants has agreed to meet once a month for 3 study days, with each meeting lasting 4-5 hours, starting every second week of the month.

While teaching the Makassar Pelita Kasih class, a participant named Renny joined to study because she had stopped studying four years ago when she became pregnant. Therefore, there are now 2 participants in this class.

Prayer Requests & Praises

·      Please pray for the class at Unaha, which has started with 7 participants, to continue running smoothly as it will meet once a month for 3 days of study. Pray for potential teachers to come forward to support this study group.
