Morning Star Indonesia
The Morning Star Indonesia Conference started Thursday evening February 16. To me however, the conference is the culmination of a series of trips to Indonesia that started as early as September 2010. The conference marks the completion of what God started back then - slow is indeed fast! Morning Star is the Every Nation church in Indonesia.
Sessions one and two on Thursday and Friday. My staple message "Discipleship is Relationship." Beside me is my good friend Pastor Markus Simanjuntak who has been translating for me since the early days in the 1980's when I would visit this church.
The other members of our team were Michael Paderes (L), Missions Director of Every Nation Philippines and Jojo Henson (R), head of Victory Manila's Prophetic team. Michael explained the EN core value of cross cultural church planting while Jojo prophesied to the national leadership.
The final part of our team was Timothy Loh, pastor of Eagle Point Kuala Lumpur who spoke on the theology of discipleship and leadership. On the right is my son Joseph Bonifacio who heads Every Nation's Campus Ministry in the Philippines (LifeBox). Joe shared on Every Nation's core value of campus ministry.
Young and old the passion of these believers was contagious. The Spirit of God visibly touched, healed and encouraged these amazing disciples. Can't wait to see what God's about to do with these guys.
Pastor Jahja Gani - senior pastor of Morning Star Jakarta and head of the Indonesian apostolic team praying for the congregation as the conference ends. On the right the Indonesian team in Manila two days ago to formulate strategic plans for 2012. Now the real work begins. Thanks Lord for all you've done and to You be all the honor and glory!
PS: Please continue to pray for all that God is doing with Morning Star.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." Isaiah 60:1-3
My Comments Policy
While my site offers visitors the ability to converse, I have a few ground rules so that our conversations will remain civil and courteous.
1. You must register in order to leave a comment. I don’t entertain pseudo, anonymous or bogus individuals. This site is my home (it has a Home Page, get it). I don’t let strangers who don’t introduce themselves into my home.
2. I love questions. I love them because a lot of times they are similar to someone else’s questions and can even trigger other questions from others. Questions also keep us all sharp. This is also why I respond to them as best as I can and at the soonest possible time. I believe that group answering benefits more people than private email exchanges.
3. We don’t have to agree. Debates are welcome. However, whether it is with me or any other visitors of my site, my rule is this: disagree if you must but keep things civil. That’s just how I run my home, and you are a visitor here. No shouting; I have seen it done in writing. No cursing and no insulting.
4. I reserve the right to delete your comments. Like I said, this is my home. I do not have an obligation to publish your comments. As a human being, you may enjoy the freedom to express your opinions on your own site but not on mine. To be specific, I will delete your comments if you post content that is in my sole opinion: (a) snarky; (b) off-topic; (c) libelous, defamatory, abusive, harassing, threatening, profane, pornographic, offensive, false, misleading, or which otherwise violates or encourages others to violate my sense of decorum, civility or any law, including intellectual property laws; or (d) “spam,” i.e. an attempt to advertise, solicit, or otherwise promote goods and services. You may, however, post a link to your site or your most recent blog entry.
5. You retain ownership of your comments. I do not own them and I expressly disclaim any and all liability that may result from them. By commenting on my site, you agree that you retain all ownership rights in what you post here and that you will relieve me from any and all liability that may result from those posts.
