If any congregation would like for me to come and give a report of our work, please let me know so that we can schedule it.

Still Able to Preach Around the World from Indonesia
Since coming to Indonesia, I have been able to teach in private Bible studies via the internet and in weekly Bible class (also via the internet). I have had opportunities to speak in Melbourne, Australia, Subang Jaya, Section 17, and Skudai – all in Malaysia. Some of the lessons have been in English, some in Chinese, some bi-lingual (English and Chinese), and also English translated into Indonesian. I also am able to attend classes and worship in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, and the United States.
Working on Visas
After being separated by covid for a thirteen-month period, Eta and I decided we would work on getting my permanent visa and multiple entry visa so that I can come and go as needed. Since covid, Indonesia has stopped all “visa on arrival,” we decided we needed to get this done.
On June 10th, we finished the first phase of this process. I now have a one-year permit to stay in Indonesia with a multiple entry visa for the next year.
My wife has done all of the “leg work” on getting the visa application ready and approved. On May 19th, we started phase two of the visa process. We had to go to the police station and register my presence in Indonesia along with a picture and forms to fill out. We completed that on May 20th.
We are still working on other phases of visa procedures and will give you an update in the next report.
A Normal Week While in Indonesia
Because there are still lockdowns in Malaysia, Singapore, and Taiwan, I still have the opportunity to speak to some of these congregations via the internet. Here is a normal week while I am in Indonesia. (All times Indonesian time).
