1 Timothy 1:12 |
the "church" is more than a buildingHow important is your church building to you? The Bible tells us the church is the body of Christ. Colossians 1:24 a church in IndonesiaOur partner in Indonesia is making an impact in the lives of people. Here is the latest project we are supporting with your gifts this quarter 2022. As one of our most successful departments, we continue to find ways to pour into our Church Makeover Program so we can always have new projects to focus on and people to bless. Each time we successfully complete a church renovation, we leave a lasting positive impact on the community around it. We strongly believe our next project should focus on a small church in Pollo village located in Kupang called Isa Almasih. Our attention was instantly pulled to the concerning condition of this church. Simple buildings made of palm branch walls usually don't last long especially with a roof of palm leaves that invite termites. The church is already slanted with evidence of a termite infestation. Founded in 2008, this little church measures 5 x 9 meters and is the only place of worship for several miles. It includes 14 families with a total of 67 people living in the Village. As always, despite the conditions, the congregants come together and rejoice in the Lord with all their hearts. How can we not honor such a spirit? “Currently the congregation has a very simple building with a palm leaf roof and walls made of palm branches. Every time the congregation worships, it is difficult because the roof has leaked and when it rains water enters and wets the congregation while worshiping. Even though the church is simple, the congregation is still diligent in worshiping. The congregation here really needs a helping hand for the presence of a permanent building so that people can worship properly.” Said Pastor Sefnat Paanea Liu.
