the church beside the main road of Pekanbaru-Dumai. Most of the attendants were
standing on the field while traffic moved fluently, often with the roaring machine
sound, on the street. Some of the passer-by on the street stopped and watched the
crusade as well. The crusades like this were also indicated by its minimal facilities,
sometimes without electricity and potable water. Spending the nights in a log cabin
without a bathroom and WC really gave a unique and unforgettable experience. Praise
