Selamat Natal! (Merry Christmas!)

Hello everybody and merry Christmas! It has bee a really great Christmas here in Indonesia. Sometimes the vendors trying to sell you stuff will accidentally say "Happy Birthday to you!" when they really mean "Merry Christmas!". We are currently taking it a bit easy until tomorrow here in the city of Lovina. We were previously in the city of Singaraja also called the "dead city" do to the lack of things to do. But it was still a lot of fun going to different villages, some in the mountains, others in the city, preaching, singing, sharing testimonies, skits, and the occasional Hula dance for the people. Often there were Hindus at these church gatherings because of there interest in Christmas. We tried our best in our skits to show that Christmas has been very westernized and that is not what it really is.

Please pray for opportunities to arise soon, as after January 5th, our trip is still a bit unknown. Please also pray for health and safety in what we do. Thank you to everyone supporting me and the group out here and please continue to pray. Thanks you and Merry Christmas!
