Dear Friends and Partners of Java Evangelism,
From June 23 until July 2 we were back in Java. Reminscing and thanking God for good memories is fine, but it is now time to get back in gear and press ahead here in Ambon.
|
|
| This young worship leader in Pleyu a church we planted in 1982 is the son of a girl who was in Sunday School with our kids. Dennis baptized both his grandparents and his great-grandparents. |
|
|
| It was great fun to see how Bethany and Janes’ “adopted” daughter, Vina [left] who traveled with us blended into the campus scene making friends with all the students and many of the teachers. |
|
|
| Dennis was the commencement speaker for the graduation of 9 with bachelors’ degress and 7 who earned certificates in the extension program for church leaders. |
|
|
| Vina enjoyed spending time with her friend Ley (left) who spent her practicuum year with us in Ambon; and meet Welly who will soon arrive for a year of practicuum. Another student is to follow in another semester or so. |
|
|
| Dennis was also privileged to challenge current and future church leaders to hold firmly to the basic doctrines of salvation and the church. He joined 4 other old-timers in a Symposium on Church Leadership. |
|
|
| Now we are back home in Ambon where much progress had been made on repairing the building we have contracted. I’ll write more about our plans here soon. Please pray for the educational/social projects and for the mini-market. Pray that they always be means of reaching into communities with the Good News! |
Yours Until All Have Clearly Heard,
Dennis and Lynn Free
