As you heard at church last night, Ken Frewer is taking a bunch of us to Indonesia over the next couple of weeks. On the team with Ken are Adrian Mikula, Steve Ritchie, Gavin Parsons and his son Sam, Peter Chapman, Mark Grobicki and myself. We’ll be visiting a few churches and missionaries around Jakarta and Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo). Please pray that we’ll stay healthy, work effectively as a team, learn a lot, and encourage the people we meet. Here’s our plan:
July 7 Arrive in Jakarta. Orientation.
July 8 Travel from Jakarta to Bandung. Visit Australian missionaries and the Revd Yopie.

Engage with local churches in worship and community development activities (e.g. child activity program), home visiting, sporting fixtures and outings. Master basic language learning and teaching skills in Indonesian and English.
July 15 Return to Pontianak. Sightseeing, shopping and eating out.
