Salam dalam kasih Tuhan Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur atas pimpinan dan pemelihara Tuhan sehingga kita bisa melewati pelayanan gereja selama setengah tahun ini. Kita juga minta hikmat dan kuasa Tuhan untuk menopang kita agar kita dapat meneruskan dan melengkapi pelayanan gereja kita sampai pada akhir tahun ini.

Pada tanggal 26-30 Juli, gereja kita akan mengadakan trip misi ke Sumba untuk penginjilan kepada ribuan murid-murid sekolah SD, SMP, SMA, dan KKR kepada anak-anak dan dewasa di beberapa gereja serta pembinaan guru-guru sekolah minggu dan pembinaan keluarga.

Sebelum trip misi ke Sumba, saya dan Ibu Esther akan ke Sekolah Kristen Kalam Kudus di Pematang Siantar dan Sekolah Metodis di Medan untuk penginjilan kepada murid-murid sekolah SD, SMP dan SMA. Kita berdoa agar Tuhan memakai Program Misi kita untuk menjangkau lebih banyak jiwa kepada Tuhan. Kita harap Tuhan memberkati trip misi supaya semakin banyak jiwa dimenangkan. Kita juga memohon kepada semua jemaat untuk senantiasa mendukung pelayanan trip misi kita ini didalam doa.

Kiranya Tuhan memenuhi saudara dengan sukacita dan damai sejahtera-Nya yang melimpah!
