25 Days To Go ...

So our first stop will be in Jakarta.

The first full day we will get to meet one of our Compassion Sponsor Children, see their home and meet their family. We will get to take them shopping for some groceries etc.

The second day we will visit a Compassion Project and go to church there and experience an Indonesian Church Service.

Our third day in Jakarta will allow us to go visit our second sponsor child and visit their family etc.

We will tell you about phase 2 of our trip over to Manado in the coming days.

Below is a photo from my second visit to Indonesia, to Manado, with Medowie Christian School.

The boy I am holding in this photo died about 6 months after the visit. This is going to be an impacting trip on us all. Pray for us all as a family and as individuals.


This is such a powerful image to me. The white Jesus in the background with the halo contrasting with the malnutrition of the child. Christ however seems to be petitioning in the background, the same cry of my heart for this child. I am content knowing that a friend ended up sponsoring a child in this family, so that in the midst of the tragedy of death, there is still hope.
