Team. For example, the first crusade at Sungai Ambawang, approximately 1 hour by
car from Pontianak, at that time, was conducted in a hostile environment and highly-

Pontianak (West Kalimantan) due to social turmoil emerging from the ethnic conflict
between Dayak and Madura tribes.

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
the Lord!
