Second Week of Seminars

Friday June 26 and Saturday June 27 we had seminars again continuing the lessons about worship and true worshippers. Stuart Jones was the first speaker on Friday followed by Mark Collins. This session was attended by 10 students, 12 members of our congregation and the speakers for a total of 22 persons involved. Mark was the first speaker on Saturday and Stuart the second. We had 11 students, 12 members and speakers for a total of 23 on Saturday. We had a great Sunday worship service with 41 people attending. Ridder led the singing, Mark was the preacher, and Jerome (Alips’s son) led the opening prayer. Harry read the scriptures, and I served the Lord's Supper with Hutasoit, Stuart prayed for us at the end of worship followed by Abdi and Alip giving announcements.

After worship. Cecilia Jones taught the ladies with 17 ladies in attendance. We had 2 students attend our worship. and 2 attended the ladies’ class. Monday I went with the guests to Monas (national monument in the center of Freedom Square), to the top of the old apartment building to see the whole city of Jakarta. Then we went back to the Hotel. Later I took Stuart and Cecilia Jones to the airport. They will teach at Singapore's International Bible Institute for around 2 weeks before returning to US.

We wish to thank them for the time they spent with us, and thank all of you who continue to pray for us and provide for us to His Glory. We also thank Steve Cate who always encourages us to stand firm in His Way.
