Arriving in Yogyakarta, also known as Yogya, was very exciting since we were meeting up with South African friends that would join us in ministry there. Our contact in Yogya was a pastor who linked us up with a Christian school. At the school, we shared stories from the Word with the kids and also prayed for the teachers. We helped out at a food ministry going on where they prepare food for 1200 people 3 times a week! Food preparation and packaging on big scale! The school blessed us so much with food, umbrellas, t-shirts and towels!
During the afternoons, we spent some time with the youth. Their stories just spoke again of how much we need God. We can try to make our lives as nice and satisfying as possible, but if God is not part of our lives, our attempts are in vain. Without God, your life sucks and heads towards destruction.
During our stay, two other teams from America also visited Yogya. It was a blessed time with them and they shared great messages of faith!
Our time in Yogya was truly awesome! The friendships that formed in that time is priceless and seeing the fellowship they share just pointed out the importance of fellowship! We had a lot of fun during our stay and it would be great to revisit our friends!
