Bobi's 16th birthday

Bobi, one of our "kids" in Connor's House, recently celebrated his 16th birthday. Daniel took all 5 of our "kids" out for dinner. It was a real treat for all of them and for us as well. When asked what he wanted to be when he became an adult, Bobi answered that he wanted to be a preacher. Daniel says that he often finds Bobi in the worship center early on Sunday mornings singing or reading the Bible. This is unusual for the autistically handicapped young man who when he first arrived at Connor's House seldom if ever sang or even spoke to anyone. It has been a real joy to all of us to see him developing some social skills and taking more interest in his studies (he's still a freshman in high school). Family members who came to wish him well on his birthday commented to Daniel that they see a marked improvement in his development. It is our prayer that we will be able to help him use his life and his skills in a way that will always glorify God and be a blessing to himself and others. He was recently baptized and it looks like he's moving in the right direction. If you would like to be a part of his development and progress, send a donation to Kids of Indonesia, P. O. Box 1881, Fremont, NE 68025.

Atiap & Albert

Atiap has two children. He had a stroke and is unable to work. One of our members (Adam) who daily distributes food to the street children, used to frequently visit Atiap’s rent house and give them food. Atiap’s wife had to leave the family alone to become a live-in maid. Earlier, Atiap’s wife had placed the daughter in an orphanage but left the son to take care of his father. All of these difficulties have weighed heavily upon Albert, the son, whose education has suffered accordingly. Daniel has asked Atiap and Albert to move closer to Connor’s House so the congregation could have more control over Albert’s education and otherwise help them to have a better life. They are now receiving food, shelter, clothing, and medical care when needed. In addition, Albert is receiving a better education in a private school — all funded by Daniel and the local congregation. Donations to this work will allow us help others with similar needs.
