a message from our brother, ivan !

Hey KCCF,

As some of you may know, I’ve taken a term off of school to do missions for six months, about ten weeks of which I’ll be in Sumatra, Indonesia, ministering to the poor and needy there. I’m currently in the Gold Coast of Australia doing training as well as being involved in ministries (including intercession for the nations, evangelism to the poor and homeless, and others).

We’ll be travelling through rural villages in Indonesia to spread the good new of Jesus Christ and to minister to the needs of the people there. We willl do what God calls us to do there, whether it be healing the sick, raising the dead or simply digging a pit. The area that we’re ministering to is a predominantly Muslim territory, as such, the Gospel is much needed there. We want to be a team that penetrates their culture deeply with the power and message of Jesus Christ and His resurrection.

Currently our team is made up of many nationalities, including: Mexican, Norwegian, Canadian, Taiwanese (me), Malaysian, Kiwi, American, and Australian. The base itself is filled with even more nationalities, all working to bring about Glory to Jesus Christ.

We expect Jesus to deliver people. We expect Jesus to do miracles. We expect Jesus to bring salvation.

We expect ourselves to decrease, and we expect God to increase. We wait eagerly for God’s love and power to be shown to the people of Indonesia through us.

If you desire to support me monetarily please send a cheque to Yi Kuan Lu to the following address. I’m trying to raise around 5500 dollars.
