Pastor Lew from Indonesia reports:
Update for Monday morning, 15 April: My Filipina partner, Mary Jane, is a 21 year-old children's pastor. Together we walked up and down mountains and valleys to meet people and invite them to study the Bible with us. We approached the first house with fear and trembling--but no one was home! At the second house we met a woman with 7 children, whose husband was working out of town. We introduced ourselves and started talking. It seemed natural to ask if she had a Bible in the house, and if she would allow us to come back and study it with her. She said yes! Then two of her children spent the next two hours taking us to every house on the mountainside. No one else was home until the last house. The lady was related by marriage to the children's mother, and agreed to join the Bible study as well. The result of our first 3 hours: 1 Bible study with 12 total members in two related families (and about 7 houses to follow up on later). The first lady also suggested that we gather all the children in the area for a Vacation Bible School program, since the children are on summer break through June. We will try to schedule that to start this week also. Praise the Lord!
