The first and natural things to do after the arrival were surely to eat and sleep
(rest) rightaway. Without prior notice and against the normal practices of most of our
people the unpredictable and unprecedented occasion did take place. Our host and
the surrounding neighbours demanded NJE and the Wandouw team to perform a
‘mini crusade’ for them in that house. At first the team rejected the request since
everybody was so extremely tired after the long, tiresome and horrible journey we
had just passed. But their demand did not cease even became stronger and more
frequent. The democracy principle stopped to work and it became useless in such
situation. Nevertheless we saw the hungriness of words of God, the real longing for
Holy Spirit touching. This had become the most tiring and demanding night but the
minicrusade had to be implemented for the sake of God’s Kingdom. In this case acting
as the preacher, song leader and interpreter were successively Ev Andreas Hartanto,
Ps Morris Watuseke and Ev Benny Gozali. Hallelujah! God’s message was so clear i.e.
wherever and whenever possible the Words of God had to be conveyed and shared
accordingly. Even in the confined space and limited time without enough physical
strength and rest the preaching of Jesus’ Gospel was important and mandatory. For
‘Son of Man had no place to lay down His head’ has to become the spirit of
evangelization throughout the world.
