Training

1.     Organized a workshop on how to use orality to teach the Book: over 20 people

During this workshop, they were given a set of
20 Book stories in the local language.  
Most of the participants are now learning these stories
as part of their language learning

One of the CP students teaching others about his UPG

Learning Islam from the Imam (Muslim teacher)

                    3.   Trained 11 people......4 Indonesian, 5 Dutch, and 2 Americans
4.   Those 11 students are now reaching 6 UPGs in this country

M people

1.                              I have taken 3 scouting trips

2.  The base I work on has allowed me to present my people group to our staff and students.

Because of this, the base has decided to adopt the M people. This means they commit to thinking and to send more people to this area for both short term and long term work. I am the official representative for the M peopel to my base.

3. I can't go into details but I have made some key contacts within the M community

4. 1 of the CP students went there for a month and feel a call to go back long term.  

    During that month, he led 2 men to Him and bapt them (and are currently discipling them)

my friend after he bapt an M person

Other fun things

• If you invite an Indonesian out to eat, it is expected that you pay 

• ALWAYS use your right hand 

• It's OK to eat with your hands at the dinner table

• They LOVE themed parties

• They do EVERYTHING as a community

As a community, they all dig for little clams for food

• The chilies here are hotter than Satan's living room 

• They think you're gross if you take LESS than 2 showers a day 

• Cold showers 

• Indonesians LOVE to laugh 

• Indonesian is pretty awesome !!!!
