                  The above testimony was given by Ps. Hein Watuseke, one of NJE leaders and a
            senior NJE activist but he is also a senior pastor in one of the churches of Pentacostal
            Church in Indonesia. One angle of the impression and message from a full-time servant
            of God has been provided. What about the other angles of view? Now what about
            impressions and messages of the other leaders and senior activists from part-timers
            with secular backgrounds?

                  The following writing and testimony were prepared by a professional in medical
            profession i.e. a doctor (physician) who has become a long-time NJE activist, one of
            the leaders, senior members and evangelists as well.

                  Each  time  we  respond  to  God's  call,  it  does  not  necessarily  guarantee  that
            everything will go well, safely and smoothly without any disturbance. On the contrary
            the opposite is often experienced such as ridicules, insults, insinuations and various
            other unpleasant events that can make us disappointed and discouraged. There were
            some people who said that before becoming followers of Christ; their lifes were better,
            more  comfortable  and  the  problems  that  existed  were  just  ordinary  problems.
            Unfortunately after following HIM even more problems occurred and it seemed that
            life became more difficult. I did experience such occasion which have made my heart
            broken.  I  really  felt  that  I  was  alone,  abandoned  and  no  longer  passionate  about
            serving God. Such feelings took place especially when you were still at the beginning
            of your ministry with the baby-like spiritual life and not understanding much about His
            word. Soon this condition could bring you into a desperate situation. But He did not let
            this happening. Yes, there was His help, His readily-given joy, His timely-given strength
            while still hoping and focusing on God and His Word. I truly experienced His touch and
            His visitation as something flowing in my heart when I entered into His presence. And
            this happened as an urge to do so in praise and worship that made me calm again and
            totally restored and refreshed.Trust that He who has called each of us in His plan, is
            obedient and will surely fulfill His promises. Stay faithfully to serve Him according to
            His calling, no matter what the problem is. HE, the faithful God, always sustains, helps,
            comforts and be with us. Amen!
