TPUM President Visits Missionaries in West Java, Commends Their Work in Local Schools

It has been such a blessing to visit our first group of missionaries. Their hearts are full of joy, and they are thriving in their ministry. We shared a wonderful Sabbath morning together, filled with encouragement and prayer. God bless each of you.

In West Java, we met with another group who are doing remarkable work in their schools. The local conference truly appreciates their efforts. Saying goodbye was not easy. Your dedication is making a real impact. God bless you all.

We also visited three young men serving in schools that are four hours apart. Two of them live in dormitories with students, fully immersed in their ministry. Their influence reaches not only the school but the wider community as well. Keep shining, brothers.

Andrew, Faulua, and Qalo are serving in remote areas. It takes eight hours by boat and thirteen hours on a bus to get to their station. Despite the sacrifice, they are in good spirits and full of courage. We enjoyed sweet fellowship and even sweeter fruit. God bless your hearts.

In East Java, Selina and Nella are serving in one school while Jordan serves alone in another. Their joy is contagious. They are growing through service and have already expressed a desire to extend their time. What a beautiful testimony of commitment.

Some of our missionaries are even saving from their own small stipends to renovate the dormitory before they leave. Their hearts for service go beyond their duties. If you would like to support this project, please let us know.

Meeting a group of confident young women in Central Java brought great joy. They teach English in both their schools and the local community, feed students and church members, and visit homes to share hope. Their love for service is inspiring. Praise the Lord for your good work.

In Semarang and Palembang, it was a joy to see our missionaries at the airport. We shared dinner together thanks to their kind principal and driver. Looking forward to more time with them before heading on to the next location. Blessings as you continue your journey.

Some missionaries face many challenges, yet remain focused on their mission. They actively look for ways to witness beyond their official roles, and God continues to open doors. Thank you Tris, Sipolo, Richie, Milo, and Lolohea for your unwavering commitment. We miss you already. Onward now to Balikpapan.

In East Kalimantan, Borneo, we met Linton, who is serving in a church and helping with a building project. Matelita and Rolline are joyfully teaching English. Thank you for your dedication in this unique region.

Our final stop was at Nusa Tenggara SDA Mission on the island of Timor. Spending Sabbath with Ardelee, Liu, Joseph, Semisi, and Jimmy was a true blessing. Their work has earned the respect of the local community, a testimony to the love and care they bring. Keep up the great work, boys. God bless you all.
