4. Some Impressions, Messages and Words of Encouragement from NJE Leaders and
Senior Activists.

Hereby is my impression, and message as well, for all NJE members and the readers:

1. In 2005, by God's miraculous way, I began to be acquinted with NJE team when NJE
wanted to hold a crusade in Amurang, North Sulawesi Minahasa. The servant of God
who was supposed to carry it out was only able to do it in a small church with only 700
people attended. Due to the unknown reasons I was contacted to coordinate a crusade
that could summon > 2,000 people and be held next month. I replied that I would be
ready as long as I was given at least 3 months to prepare for praying, funds, and other
things. It was conveyed that NJE had been praying for a long time and the operational
funds would be provided sufficiently. As a servant of God/evangelist in North Sulawesi,
I was ready to accept it. Thank God, the crusade in the city center of Amurang, South
Minahasa in North Sulawesi was a great success. More than 5,000 people attended by
motorcycles, cars, trucks and on foot. Many miracles had happened such as sick people
were healed, hundreds of people experienced renewals/conversions. Since that
moment I have been active and coordinating NJE crusades and seminars in North
Sulawesi, and also entrusted to preach at NJE crusades. I have coordinated, in North
Sulawesi, more than 15 crusades (including seminars), mostly in the open fields. All
crusades were successful because I was directly involved in preparing and selecting the
chairman and treasurer of the crusade committee. Praise God! Not only all the
crusades went smoothly, many miracles also happened i.e. sick people were healed,
many young people repented, and even wanted to become servants of God. Some of
the field crusades included the following cities (towns): Amurang, Motoling, Tompaso
Baru (example of miracle: it rained but not the field of crusade), Manado, Bitung,
Airmadidi, etc. Hallelujah

2. My impression, even though NJE is a small team (number of members and size of
organization) but it has survived and achieved the amazing evangelistic successes
because of the continuous prayings, high enthusiasms due to God's love, good
plannings, including local servants of God and good cooperations between NJE team
members and the pastors of locations visited, and there was also a good evaluation.

3. My encouragement:

a. while it is still a day/there is khairos time let’s do God's work (John 9:4)
