Burial of Stephanus

One of our church members passed away yesterday morning, Sunday, June 29th, 2014 and was buried the same day. His name was Stephanus and he was 70 years old. He had been in the hospital for a few days last week, but they sent him home since there was nothing that could be done for him. I'm posting one photo of the burial here on this blog with a link where I hope you will be able to see all of the photos taken of the graveside service if you desire to do so. From the link you can get an idea of how Christian funerals are conducted here in Indonesia. My co-worker, Daniel, was in charge of the service and is the minister for the congregation of which Stephanus was a part. We send our condolences to the family and continue to pray for them in the loss of their loved one and our brother in Christ. Kami ikut berdukacita bersama dengan keluarganya dalam meninggalnya saudara Stephanus. Kami tetap mendoakan keluarganya dan kiranya Tuhan akan melindungi mereka dan menguatkan iman kepercayaan mereka agar mereka tetap berpegang teguh kepada Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus. Amin.
