We have been privileged to host a seminar the last 3 days for the English speaking Church community in Jakarta, entitled "Psychology Serving the Church" with Dr. Eolene Boyd-MacMillan. Eolene is the co-author (along with Sara Savage) of a book which has helped me greatly, entitled "The Human Face of the Church." She will be preaching at both of our services this Sunday and will be working with our staff 2 days next week as a part of an extensive 6 month evaluation process we are conducting in order to improve our structure and performance.Pictured from left to right are Rosani Sufian, Pst Joy, Dr Eolene and me (Pst Steve). Rosani is the consultant whom we have retained to guide us through this often difficult but always productive process. Dr Eolene was one of her teachers in seminary.
I have enjoyed every conversation and session with Eolene and fully endorse her ministry. I also would encourage any Pastor in Indonesia to get in touch with Rosani to see about enlisting her help in improving the effectiveness of your Church staff... if you have the nerves to handle such a process.
Many Pastors are looking for consultants who will leave everything alone and validate them (help them to prove a point). If that is you and you are not looking for honest constructive criticism which will lead to genuine improvement, then Rosani is not for you. She is honest, straight forward and motivated only by serving God completely. In one word, she is "awesome!" Thank you Rosani and thank you Eolene!
