March 2024 News Update.
GREETINGS to you all our valuable Friends, Families and Partners for your genericity to embracing the evangelism and church planting mission work here in Kupang Nusa Tenggara Timur Indonesia. “We acknowledge your prayers and the resources that contributed towards this missions exposure, our ministry motto NEVER LEAVE ONE BEHIND, it is paramount to reach out to every single person next to us as well as villages and urban centers around where we focus. “God gave us the spiritual mandate to go and preach the gospel, whoever believe and is baptize will be save Mathew 28.18-20 therefore Adonai Worship Center Local church this year 2024 aside of our local church ministry priorities we also value missions as important part of the local church vision. Our desire is to reach many souls and build Gods kingdom in this planet earth especially in this part of Indonesia.
Since we where building Adonai worship Center local church in the year 2016 we try to utilize the little financial resources we have to build this local church building. it take’s approximately eight years until 2023. Those years we hasn’t able to visit urban centers and villages, however we are fully engage to complete the main church as are bases for future effective church planting missions. “Praise God, all though Adonai Worship Center local church is not fully completed at this states, but we felt in our spirit to expend the gospel to the remote frontier missions beginning this year 2024 and beyond. “This year our local church have prayerfully decided to adopted district 8 and district 15 from our region, this two district will be under our local church overseer, more precisely we discovered our frontier pastors and church planters facing dificulties in the field, financially, health, family issue that affected their spiritual energy to effectively explore the gospel to where their suppose to reach out. Therefore we decided to provide coaching and mentorship to the frontier pastor’s from this two district first, our main focus is to planting more local churches in this two district in the future.
How to we do? 1) Our Main goals is to visit this two district every quarterly and to provide counsel as well as productive tips to help pastor’s focus on the evangelism and church planting work. 2) We provide frontier church planters pastors with some small financial aid on the monthly bases length of two to three years period, so far we have started some financial aid to this three pastors already, Pastor Yohana she is a young female Pastor from Malaka district (15) and Pastor Yakob Sobapa and wife, Pastor Arkilaus Talan and wife from Kolbano district (8) this three Pastors we will overseer their development on the church planting strategies, as soon as they have minimum 15 individuals or maximum 20 members we will considering church building. We like to support ten frontier pastor from each district totaling of twenty Pastors in both district.
Within this two to three years period, we will monitors the development of the pastors at the frontline through the sub-district counsel , If the fellowship have minimum of 15 or maximum of 20 members that fellowship require church building, every church building must legally establish upon the organization asset, we have classic example, many church building has taken away by those individual pastor who build church upon personal asset, therefore as we focusing on the church planting missions, either we purchase the land or free donation from individuals or organization, that particular property legality must under the church organization asset. After building the local church, our church will not provide financial aid anymore to the Pastors. Hence, will provide spiritual aspect through visitation, coaching and mentorship, For their economy aspects we should have other alternatives means for their sustainability in the field, normally this will come when we discover what ways they could able to generate income for their endeavor while serving in the local church ministry. As to how the pastor should reach as many souls to congregate in his or her church to look after the pastor while serving in that church. “For instance! before we start building Adonai church building we did support few Pastor, Pastor Merinus Kapak and family we build their Pastors house and for their church we only completed windows and doors, for Pastor Yayub Kosat and family they where are working on new church planting work our local church provide financial aid for them on the monthly basis for three years, I have told them we will not continue support for more then three years. Alone the way I discovered, the villages where they are now service has lots of coconut trees, I had the idea that after three years we will give this family are machine for them to do a small business to sustain their live in the field, after three years of our commitment I ask one family if they can buy a coconut scrapping machine and that family bought that machine, I call husband and wife came to the town and we gave their last support plus machine for them to do small business, I totd the husband and wife we gave you this machine to generate income to sustain the childrens school fees and the family endeavor in the field, praise God now they make some good money to look after children for their school fees and food on the table for family. God will open the flood gate of God heaven to provide provision to us to stand beside this great man and women of God in the field to reach out to many souls for Gods glory Amen.

In Lae Morobe Province
I was in this local church during the youth days with Youth With A Mission Lae bass, I used to attended this local church for two years, I share the calling of God to be a missionary overseas with the late Rev. Joseph Maru, and he supported the calling of God in my lives, during the time of his leadership in this local church at the same time he is the National Superintendent of Assemblies Of God in Papua New Guinea. he empress me on the calling that I had from the lord even he wrote me a letter of recognition which I can keep and give to the pastor of a local church if they are willing to support me in this mission work in Indonesia.
why we where invited ? This mission work where started from this local church through the mission director Sami Haenere, Sami was very committed to work with me he came to west-Timor Indonesia in 2003 and sees my ministry need ,first thing late Sami those was he raise funds to buy my motorbike, also he embassize more into other local churches about the work here in Indonesia, Late Sami invited other interested local churches to paticipate for this work. that’s how Kimbe AOG Church Missions director Stanley Huasi and the leadership of the church oragized fundraising in 2006 to buy a Van for me to use for ministry.
Praise God now we have this van and the ministry when extra mile for Gods glory. he arrange other churches as well to involve like Kimbe AOG Church, New Heights AOG in Wewak to contributed funds to support me on the monthly basses, Late Sami has done marvelous job on Mission. I salute him but when he had the confrontation with some dominant leadership at the church they try to control every thing in the mission department, Sami was very disappointed with few individual in the leadership levels with that Sami and his family left this local church and when starting a new AOG church in 10 miles from there on until today this church not supporting the work in Indonesia, I am really sure the congregation of this church is the dying heart of mission, individuals in this church they are secret givers and they did it but the leadership those not have the spirit of God is very changer easily tempted for materialism than follow the Holy Spirit direction, after Sami left no one take his responsibilities to visit me and the family in Indonesia, no financial support since eight years ago, from there up now we lost communicating with the leadership and the church in Lae.
In conjunction with the story above for our visit to Lae is to get our formal prayer release from this local church. Even though we were not supported for 8 years due to respect we when to Lae. when we are still in Port Moresby some good friends of mine advice me not to travel to Lae unless they provide you and the family a ticket, I make mentioned to the church pastor in Lae they told me yes they will buy the ticket for us confirm this local church will provide ticket to and fro, If you read above story title Wewak to Madang you will see some of our frustration from wewak to Madang and then Madang to Lae no proper arrangement was made for us infect we are the guest like any other guest who was invited, from Madang to Lae we had the call from Koyama family in Port Moresby that they have arranges the Guest house for us to reside by eight o’clock night we where very close to the city we where almost holdup at the 2 mile settlement that makes my wife and two girls shock so I told the driver to take us to the nearby hotel for over night tomorrow we will meet the pastor and leaders and the church.
On Sunday morning church service I prepare to preacher the word of God some how the leadership and the pastor gave this program to other pastor and he preach the word of God, they just ignore us we still patient and wait for the end of the church service, before the end of the church service they call us to be at the front the pastor and the leadership wanted to pray and release us in this church, so four of us all when up to the front and they pray for us, I don’t feel that this pray release is past on the healthy spirit I really sense in my spirit is totally deceiving Spirit lie and hatred but anywhere we don’t make that become a issue we know we serve God not a church ever since. anywhere we stay for are week in Lae this one week not even are shopping plastic or money to do our shopping none at all, we pray and the Lord provided us provision so we able to do our own shopping God Knows we received nothing from the Church who invited us to come, I was patient and we pray God provided food for us and our Guest House, Josh and Teckla gave us one of their hired car we drive , praise God we pray every night at the Guest house trusting God for our living in Lae God has been faithful to us since when we are in Lae. because the power of the prayers of righteous man is avail much.
As you see the picture above is the church dedication service at the Lae Eriku AOG Church, this serve is very special we have two pioneer missionary from the Assemblies of God Australia, they are the special guest of honor, this morning Rev. Cyril Westbrook was preaching at the church service, after his sermon, Rebone cutting and declared the new name of the Church CENTRAL ASSEMBLIES OF GOD, after that feet washing the senior pastor of church and his wife wash the feet of this two pioneer missionary Cyril and Evelyn Westbrook after the feet end the service and we where advice to drive to Okari Campus for late Lunch and early dinner because its very late in the evening.
After the meal we drive back to the Guest House for backing all our luggage and preparing for tomorrow return to Port Moresby and my wife and two girls will be traveling back to Bali and to West-Timor, when we arrived at the guest house because we have lots of natural food in our guest room so we good some of them, my wife was in the kitchen, I when to meet the church administrator to inform him that the church need to reimburse our money for the ticket from wewak to madang in the night administrator came to our Guest and gave the money that we spend to pay our ticket.
At three O,clock Morning we drive to Nadzab Air port in Lae and checking and board our flight to Port Moresby when we arrived at the Jackson International Airport we when and check in confirm we drive to see our friends and pray with them and then we came back to the Airport my family departed to Denpasar Bali I am very sad we have travel to gather and now they leaving to Indonesia, we pray and they left me and board their flight to Bali, bye bye.
