Jakarta Trip, First Update

After Thursday and Friday in the classroom, the weekend was spent visiting churches. First up, with Pastor David and his newlywed wife at their church on the outskirts of Jakarta:

On Saturdays, the women gather for fellowship. They had prepared a meal for our visit:

My interpreter, Edwin Karwur, is a professor in a Baptist seminary in Minado, on another Indonesian island. He lived in Canada for 15 years but recently returned as a missionary to his home country. Edwin and his wife have 2 sons who were born in Canada and are experiencing Indonesia for the first time:
