| “For we are both God’s workers. And you are God’s field. You are God’s building. Because of God’s grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have—Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 3:9-11 NLT |

Family Retreat
Last month, we were thankful that all of our full-time workers were able to gather together with their spouses and children for a Family Retreat.
It was a wonderful time of fellowship, encouragement, and spiritual renewal. We were especially grateful to gain a clearer understanding of the vital role that husbands and wives play together in God’s movement. As families grow stronger in their partnership and calling, they become more effective in advancing His Kingdom.
We praise God for this special time together and pray that He will continue to strengthen every family as they serve Him faithfully. May God be glorified in and through their lives. |

Our oldest child and only daughter, Jemima, celebrated her 17th birthday on July 23.
We are truly grateful for the way God has been at work in her life and in the lives of all our children. Looking back over the years, we are continually reminded of God’s faithfulness, love, and grace toward our family.
God is so good! We thank Him for His guidance and protection, and we pray that Jemima will continue to grow in her love for Christ and faithfully follow His calling in her life. |

Collection of Testimonies:
Miracles, Healings, and Baptisms
We are grateful to share the following collection of testimonies from the field. These stories highlight God’s amazing work through the Disciple-Making Movement as lives are transformed, people experience miraculous healing, new believers are baptised, and disciples make more disciples.
May these testimonies encourage your faith and remind you that God is still at work, building His Kingdom among the nations. |

| Mrs. KS had been suffering from Stage 3 ovarian cancer for nearly three years. She also experienced kidney damage after undergoing chemotherapy twice. Over the years, she tried many different treatments, including herbal medicine, but nothing brought healing. As her condition worsened, she and her husband became so discouraged that they even considered ending their lives.
Through a friend involved in our ministry who knew Mrs. KS, she was brought to our home. During our first meeting, I shared the Gospel with her, and she responded by placing her faith in Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior.
At our second meeting, I shared the Gospel again and prayed for her healing. We began to see signs of change.
At our third meeting, we once again shared God’s Word and prayed in the name of Jesus. During that time, Mrs. KS experienced heavy bleeding. Shortly afterward, medical examinations confirmed that she was completely free from ovarian cancer. Her kidneys, which had previously been damaged by chemotherapy, were also restored.
Overwhelmed with gratitude for what the Lord had done, Mrs. KS publicly declared her faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized.
We give all glory to God for His saving grace and His healing power. |

Member Care: Caring for Our Workers
One important way we care for our team is by visiting them in the places where they serve.
Recently, I visited our workers on Lombok Island to encourage and support them. Also spent time with our intern serving on Sumbawa Island, whose internship concluded at the end of July.
These visits provide opportunities to listen, pray together, strengthen relationships, and encourage our workers as they continue serving faithfully. We thank God for the privilege of caring for those He has called into His harvest. |

Prayer Mobilisation
As the regional leader of the Indonesia People Network (IPN) for Bali, West Nusa Tenggara, and East Nusa Tenggara—covering seven Unreached People Groups (UPGs)—God has given me the privilege of serving alongside our leadership team to mobilise churches, field workers, and believers who have a heart for reaching the unreached.
At the end of April, we gathered together to hear testimonies of what God is doing in the field, celebrate the fruit of the ministry, and humble ourselves in prayer. Together, we asked the Lord of the harvest to raise up and send more workers into His harvest fields and to move more churches to become actively involved through prayer, giving, and sending.
We praise God for His faithfulness and are encouraged to see Him stirring the hearts of His people for His mission among the unreached. |

Mission Mobilisation Efforts
We are thankful to continue mobilising churches to engage in God’s mission among the unreached. Although we have faced challenges and opposition from some Christian religious leaders and some churches in West Nusa Tenggara, we remain committed to moving forward with those who are willing to pay the cost for the sake of advancing the Gospel of the Kingdom. While some view this ministry as a threat to religious harmony, we continue to serve with humility, wisdom, and prayer.
This was our fifth mobilisation gathering, held every three months. We praise God for the fruit He is producing. One church has already sent two full-time workers and is preparing to send a third. Through their ministry, more than 100 local people have placed their faith in Christ. Including those who are still exploring the faith and regularly participating as seekers, the community has now grown to 147 people. In addition, 10 new House churches have been established.
We thank God for His faithfulness and ask for your prayers as He continues to raise up churches that will pray, send, and actively participate in reaching the unreached for the glory of Christ. |

Seeing, Not Spectating
I am so grateful to see our disciples faithfully obeying the Great Commission. It is a great joy to witness God at work through their lives as they make disciples, share the Gospel, and help advance His Kingdom.
We are not merely spectators watching from the sidelines—we have the privilege of joining in what God is doing. Seeing lives transformed and new disciples raised up reminds us that the Lord is faithfully building His Church.
Praise the Lord! |

House of Filadelfia (HoF) Church Activities
We are far from perfect, but we continue to gather as a spiritual family to study God’s Word, share our struggles, encourage one another, and go together to make disciples among those who have not yet heard the Good News.
We are especially grateful that one of the Muslim-background believers (MBBs) from our House of Filadelfia is preparing to become a full-time worker. This step is needed because the disciple-making movement among the Osing and Balinese peoples has now reached the fourth and fifth generations, requiring greater commitment and intentional leadership.
Please pray for wisdom, strength, and God’s provision as this new worker prepares to serve. May Christ alone receive all the glory. |
