March 11, we enter our 40th year in Indonesia.  We thank God and  you,  our  faithful prayer  warriors and financial partners, for making it possible for us to have lived and served here for 39 years!  We do not know what the future holds, but we are grateful to have been in Indonesia  in many changing roles for these years.   We have been blessed by so many good people and we only trust that we have been able to encourage a few to look toward the exalted Lord!  We have no retirement plans at the moment.  We enjoy what we are doing too much to think like that.

 

This past weekend Dennis traveled to a totally Muslim village two hours across a strait on a much larger island.   The opening was made possible through the quality products we are offering  for sale.  Prayerfully a bridge head has been established there.   We are asking God to open up the doors if this is his timing for us to invest more deeply in that village.

 

We have our first request for a bible in the Muslim North of the island where we live.  Please pray for our friend Michael as he continues to interact with the man who requested it.  He is a respected Muslim teacher in his village.

 

Continue to ask God to help Michael, Reni, Lei, Okta and us to grow in wisdom and boldness as interact  with our “cousin” neighbors. The new girls from the Bible College could use a real dose of boldness and clear focus about now!  Karen, a friend from Savannah, continues to build bridges into the university community.   Pray for her wisdom as she uses her remaining time to loving exalt the Lord among her friends and contacts.

 

We rejoice over news from Abel  that the young believers he is discipling in Pleasant Port are growing and sharing the Good News.  Ask God to make them all true, fruitful disciple-makers.    Requests from Rabbit Count y for prayer for folk to whom they are sharing are coming more frequently.  Ask the Lord to give a harvest there.   Efforts to prepare the soil there began following an earthquake in 2009.
 
Until All Hear Clearly,

 Ya’ll come! We are asking God to send English speakers who love Jesus and care for  people (especially lost people) to help us make contacts throughout the city of Ambon.   You could help with the pre-school programs,  English classes, communication sessions   at the American Corner at a local University, prayer walking, and through friendship.   Air fare is about $1800 (return).  Visa would be $25-50.   Living costs less than $30/day.    Come for a week, or better for a month, or three  … or a few years.  Great experience for College Students and a meaningful retirement activity for Seniors.   Contact us if you are interested.  We can give you plenty of meaningful things to do while you learn about and contribute to pioneer evangelism and church planting.   You can have an impact for the Gospel in the islands that Columbus never reached!
