Prayer Requests
Pray for:

2) Us to find God faithful and sufficient in our limited financial situation
3) Strength to persevere on despite the many challenges
4) God's protection over the family and grant us good health

Even though there are many challenges and many are resistant to the gospel, the Lord has kept me and supplies me with His strength to plod on. Many answered prayers have encouraged me and I will keep on keeping on. It is hard to break through superstitious traditions but the Lord is opening ways for the gospel to penetrate hearts and win souls for Christ.

5) Wisdom to minister to parents, school teachers and students

At a school where I minister, a few of the students were possessed by an evil spirit. An 18 year old girl was possessed quite a number of times within a duration of two months.

Number of people evangelised - 100
Number of conversions - 0
Number of people baptised - 0
Churches planted - 5

Prayer Requests
Pray for:

2) God to preserve my parents' good health and also my child
3) Me, that I will persevere in my ministry work and will not give up. Pray that I will be guided by the Holy Spirit.
4) The people of Indonesia to be tolerant of one another's race and religion
5) Us, as we tackle the many recent natural disasters here in this region

The people here in the village that I am ministering in are steeped in traditional superstitions and refuse the gospel. I am currently ministering in a Malay dominant area with Dayaks who are idol worshippers. I am waiting for the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in how to penetrate into this area without offending these people. God's plans and timing are perfect and I pray that I will be able to strike at the right time and moment to these people. Please keep me in your prayers always.

4) My family to remain strong and supportive of my ministry
5) Me to be a blessing to others as I serve God to win souls for Him

God answered miraculously when I prayed for a believer who was very, very sick and could hardly walk. He was healed and restored and more importantly, his family was drawn to Christ. They have all accepted Jesus into their lives recently. Praise be to God!
