Early days in the Netherlands

May 1 was the first day I arrived in the Netherlands. Everything looked fine with the first month apartment. I thanked to God for it.
First week in my work, I was ill. It was quite frustrated for me because a lot of work to do but my body did not support me.
I was so tired, everyday went back late.
But again, God is so good. Even in my weakness, He healed me. In 5 days I could recover from my sickness.

One next thing is to find annual apartment which has to be competitive price because I need to save my outcome of course.
It is not easy to find good apartment and Good price here in Veenendaal.
(The apartment I have now is really expensive 😄.. It is like 20 million rupiah for a month).

Again God is good. I could find the strategic one and it is in process now.
I know God is working in my life because I belong to Jesus.

So, as you also belong to Jesus. Don't be afraid. Keep up with your dreams and glorify the Lord with it.

Don't forget to share your testimony too 😉👌

My house!

I have been thinking many times what to do with my house when my wife and I have to move to Netherlands for few years.
I have tried quite several choice like to sell this house, to offer contract to friends and actually I got the person who was trying to buy my house and the other person was asking for contracting my house. They are all my friends / colleague. But my heart was still not really in peace for both solution.
I still need house when I come back from Netherlands to proof I am still Indonesian.  On the other hand, I have many stuff to move if my friend contract it.

These few days, my parents in law came to surabaya to find boarding house for my brother in law. I never thought about my brother in law to stay in my house.
But what happened was my parents in law asked for that because they all like my house and feel so comfortable.
So, suddenly I have solved one problem I have with my house.

I am really grateful for that. I know it was my Father in heaven who made it.
Yes, thanks Lord and I am proud of You.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Camp LSC 2017

I can say that among all LSC camps we have passed before, this time we have the most interesting sessions because we all listened each session for 4.5 hours with enthusiasm and fun.
This time also I could say that we almost did not have any "free time" because even at free time, we used it for sharing and learn something.
Every night we could only sleep for 4 to 5 hours but nobody was getting sick.

I was personally blessed by this camp. The fellowship we had together, the teaching and humble hearts to receive inputs between brother and sister ... I am so grateful to have such church in Him.

Finally I would challenge you to be a part in His vision in local church in full commitment because when you offer your belongings to God, you will be able to enjoy and receive His blessings abundantly.

Amen 👍👍👍

Playing Guitar

Last tuesday we had evening prayer in Mrs Salim's house. All of care groups in this week were gathered in this place to pray against the works of evil spirits in her house.
At that time I was in charge in playing guitar.
Before I went to care group actually I had been thinking that usually this kind of event would take time at least 1 hour only for spiritual warfare. It was long time for me to play guitar for such time in one session.
But I loved to do that because for me it is always a privilege to serve Him in any case.

After praise session before listening to the words of God I had felt my finger is quite tired.
Then when we started to enter the warfare, I realized that the worship leader used so many songs with do=E which usually make my finger quickly tired. But I felt Holy Spirit gave me such strength that for 1 hour playing guitar with difficult keys was not hurting my hand. I felt little bit tired at the end but still OK to play.

Really, I had been thinking to only play half session and ask somebody else for the rest. But amazingly God strengthen me to serve Him.
It was so sweet to realize that in our ministry God is with us, giving strength and hope.

I encourage you to faithfully serve Him. Don't be trapped by your high activity because He has called you to have fellowship with Him personally and then to serve Him.

Amen 👍👍👍

Strength in sickness

This week my parents were coming from Sunday to Wednesday. It was very nice of course. But I was too much driving them from morning till late evening. I was also taking leave on Monday to drive them shopping.
At the end of their stay in surabaya, I felt sick. I got diarrhea and influenza the day after that.
At that time I was quite worry because I have to preach on this coming Sunday. Until Wednesday I cannot prepare anything because of making time with parents and after that I was sick.
So I was really worry.

I prayed to God that I want to be blessing. I said I want to serve Him and I asked for healing and He answered my prayer.

The day after I was sick, it became better for me and I could start to prepare the preaching material.
Even though only few days left, but day by day I knew that God guided me. He was there with me and strengthen me.
Now I have finished preparing for tomorrow and I am really grateful for His provision to me.

To serve The Creator of the universe is really privilege for me.
How about you?

God bless you ☺

Finally it is done.

Finally it is done!!
This week were really amazing. Everyday I was finished working at 1 to 2 am in the early morning and start working again by 8 to 9 am.
The reason was because there were problems with the other machine which connected to our machine. This made the performance test in production really in problem.
We had to wait so long each day and sometimes without any result.
Actually 2 days before today I was quite worry that we could not finished the test because of the other supplier and most probably that I cannot go home again.

I prayed to God and decided to buy the ticket home although I was so worry.
And it was amazing. Last minute (really last minute) we could finish all the test with accepted result.
It just happened that the 'no hope' situation became hopeful situation at last minute.

Although I only had resting for few hours everyday but I am sure God has given me strength and health till I finish my assignment on time.

Another graceful story to share... as our beloved Father always provides unmeritted favor to you and me.
Amen 🙏🙏🙏

Mysterious way!

Yes, that is exactly what I mean. God is working in such mysterious way but sure and never too late.

To continue my previous testimony. I am now still in the middle of finishing the task given to me.

As I encouraged myself to believe right that Jesus is there with me. He supported me and I proved again that in such mysterious way He has used some people in the customer to support my weakness. By the time, we could continue the process and now it looks so close to the target.

Amazing and so graceful the love of God. I do encourage you guys who read it to appreciate God's presence in your daily life by always thanking Him and to be grateful in everything.

Wish you all blessed days with Jesus.
Amen.
