What an awesome year for missions!!!

It was just a year ago when the ICCJ Family pledged just over 1 Billion Rupiah for missions. Of course you all experienced God's blessing as you excercised your faith and more then met that pledge... but then this year! We went for a goal of 1.5 Billion Rupiah but we surpassed the 2 Billion mark!!! (for those of you following the ministry from beyond Indonesia, that is approximately US$220,000) With the amount that we also put into missions from our Church general fund, we will undoubtedly invest more than US$300,000 this year into God's Kingdom beyond ourselves! What surprises me is that though the commitment doubled, the congregation has not... yes, we have grown a significant amount, maybe more than 30%, but that does not translate into double missions giving. Rather, I believe that you the ICCJ Family are deepening in your commitment to the Kingdom, you are experiencing blessing from God and you also believe in the Mission Program and the awesome leadership of Pst Rishi as he spearheads this wonderful endeavor for the glory of God! Amen! ICCJ... I am so proud to be your Pastor and I am expecting great reports in the near future! You are awesome!!!
