Hello, this is Tad posting from Indonesia. I am here on a mission trip. I'd rather not post exactly what we're doing as I don't know if internet use is monitored here.
Today I spoke in a church with the help of an interpreter. It was very awkward, but seemed to be well received. I had a sense that everything about the service was just as church at home. Just couldn't understand the language.
There are 24 of us here from all over the U.S. and other parts of the world. So have met many people including the local mission workers who are very friendly, helpful and committed.
The photo above is a couple that helped me with the church presentation today. Maruli and Tetty are on the left and right sides. Maruli is a retired commercial banker in Indonesia. In the center is Hosea, a pastor and my interpreter for the day. He has done interpreting for many famous Christian evangelists including Billy Graham. So felt honored to meet and work with him.
I will be here for another 14 days. So will post some more info. If you are so inclined, please pray for our safety and success here. Blessings, Tad

I'm so excited for you Tad...anxious to hear more about trip, how it came about etc. I loved my trips with kids to Mexico, was probably, more spiritual for me than the kids.
Will pray for a successful trip and safe return.....Hugs, Auntie Jan
