Manado Pastor's Conf., Day 1

Tuesday at the FLSC in Manado, Indonesia was a day for flexibility and getting adjusted (flexibility is the password on any successful missions trip, trust me!)

We have over 600 pastors & leaders registered for the conference, but the language barrier makes it very difficult to 'read' the people, to guage their response to the teaching. As a result, it feels like tough plowing - but the Spirit of the Lord visited us in the closing session, and I know the pastors are receiving, even if our teachings are challenging some of their traditions.

It seems my wife and the ladies didn't have any resistance, and they sensed real breakthrough from the opening sessions with the women leaders who have gathered. I got to their assembly room just before the close, and it was obvious that the Indonesia women are receiving big-time from our CLC team - all of you at CLC would be proud of our ladies and the way they're serving the women of both of these precious developing nations.

And what a small world - we returned to the hotel only to see former-CLCer, Jerry Tambun, who now lives in Manado, just a few minutes from where we're staying. In fact, CLC has several former members (Zindy Pussong and Jeany Kermite who now live in CA) who were originally from Manado! How neat the connections that God makes for us!
