Celebrating our Independence in America!

Salam dalam damai Tuhan Yesus Kristus!

Kita bersyukur kepada Tuhan atas berkat-Nya sehingga gereja kita bisa menjangkau jiwa-jiwa melalui acara Parrent’s Day pada tanggal 15 Juni siang untuk memberitakan Injil kepada orang tua murid-murid Sekolah Mandarin, dan melalui acara pengInjilan pada tanggal 22 Juni kepada orang-orang tua di Senior Home, Hayward. Puji Tuhan mereka sangat responsif dengan acara dan berita yang kita sampaikan kepada mereka.

Bulan ini, pada tanggal 4 Juli, Amerika akan merayakan Hari Kemerdekaan yang ke-248. Kita bersyukur kita bisa menikmati kebebasan beragama di negara ini. Dengan kebebasan ini, kita harus lebih giat melayani Tuhan dan membawa bangsa-bangsa di negara kembali kepada Tuhan.

Pada tanggal 24-28 Juli, gereja kita akan mengadakan trip misi ke Kupang dan Pulau Alor untuk penginjilan kepada ribuan murid-murid sekolah SD, SMP, SMA, dan KKR kepada anak-anak dan orang dewasa di beberapa gereja serta pembinaan hamba-hamba Tuhan. Sebelum trip misi ke Kupang dan Pulau Alor, saya dan Ibu Esther akan melakukan penginjilan kepada anak-anak jalanan di Cibubur dan kepada murid-murid di Sekolah Kristen Kalam Kudus, Sekolah Metodis, Sekolah Harapan bunda dan Sekolah Tunas Agung di Jakarta. Kita berdoa agar Tuhan memakai Program Misi kita tahun ini bisa menjangkau lebih banyak jiwa kepada Tuhan. Kita harap Tuhan memberkati trip misi kita supaya semakin banyak jiwa dimenangkan. Kita juga menghimbau semua jemaat untuk senantiasa mendukung pelayanan trip misi kita ini didalam doa.

Kiranya Tuhan memberkati pelayanan dan keluarga saudara sekalian!

SELAMAT HARI KEMERDEKAAN, AMERIKA!
