So remember how I said that I spoke at church on Sunday… and that a
few people came up to speak to me afterwards… well one of them
explained that she was working with a group of Christians on the
island of Sumba and that she felt it was really necessary for them to
hear our message and our testimony. She prayed during my testimony
that God would send me to Sumba to preach t o her group…

As I planned to head to Manando, one of the best diving spots in the
world to do a few days of SCUBA diving before I head to Hong Kong, the
Lord really put it on my heart that I needed to be obedient to this
call. I sent Myrne, the woman who approached me, an email earlier
today explaining this and asked her if it she felt it was necessary
for me to go right now or if one of the Indonesians on staff would be
better suited to speak to her congregation.

The Lord thankfully made this decision very apparent and she replied
with the name of the pastor there, her phone number, gave me flight
information, assigned me a tour guide and a translator, and acted as
if the decision had been already made. And so I begin planning for a
trip to Sumba, a small island not too far East of Papua. There are
mostly on villages on the island, and electricity will be available
only at night. “There is one email station, but it is broken most of
the time” Myrne tells me. : )

I have great expectations for this trip, and it looks as though one of
the Rep team from Indonesia might accompany me as well which would be
a huge blessing. So, this blog might get even more interesting soon…

I’ll leave Saturday. There’s still a lot to do with Wintermar between
now and then so please continue to pray for Kiki, Martin, Sugyman,
Darmawan, and the other employees that we might guide them toward’s a
higher purpose for the company.
