Dear Pastor and Praying Friends, 

Pray for our Bible Institute.  It is doing well, with Pdt Suyono as our director.  The first of September, there will be a graduation, with five of our students graduating.  Please pray for that very special time.

Also, please pray for one of our churches.  Agape Independent Baptist church is having its share of problems.  We relocated to a different building, in a nearby area, as our contract had run out.  As per the rule, all of the neighbors agreed.  No problem seemingly.  However, after two months, we were told we must have a letter signed by one of the higher  officials.  We had a letter from the other area, but it can not be used, as this is a new district.  In the meantime, we are not permitted to use the building for services, but  the pastor and his family can live there.  At present, we are going house to house, but it is difficult. We are trying to find another place  to meet. We know that nothing is impossible with God, but this problem needs much prayer. 

It is time for our furlough   We will be returning in September of this year.  We will be available for meetings and for mission conferences between October and May when we will return to the field.  We will be in touch with many of you, and hope you would like to hear about Indonesia . It is such a blessing to serve the Lord here.

Pray for one of  the pastors here.  His name is Andrias.  He and his wife have served the Lord faithfully for many years.  He has bone cancer and is very thin. Unless God gives him a miracle, he does not have long.

Thanks so much to those that help support a child to go to school here, at the cost of $5.00 per month.  The little Sunday School children are delighted to receive their envelope, at the beginning of each month to help pay their school bill.

Please pray for Carole's sister Joyce. Just found out in May that she has cancer of the jaw, the gums, and perhaps down into her lungs.

We hope to raise money for two of our churches to have their own building, instead of renting, or going from home to home.  So far, Cornerstone Baptist Temple, Dayton, Ohio Grace Baptist Church in Dayton, Ohio and  Steve and Jody Ross have given towards this real need.  Please ask the Lord if He would have you be a part?
