A New Era

By Glenice Hartwich | 0 comment | Categories: Indonesia

Mention the word ‘Indonesia’ and many people would not associate it with the word ‘Christian’.

Thursday 11 January in Perth airport. It’s been such a long time, it seems, since I saw the children of Debora. I left there in late April, 2006, after my second visit and hoped to get back straight after Synod in Toowoomba – but it didn’t happen – it wasn’t God’s time. Sometimes it’s hard […]
