Update from Bali Coffee House/Training Center
Our Coffee House in Bali, Indonesia serves as a multi-faceted center. The building is large enough that it provides space for training our national pastors and ministers. Also the center serves as a base and provides opportunity for outreach ministry into the surrounding communities. Following is an update from missionary, Tim Salley. He reports the following on his recent visit:
“Brother Gunter & Neni are leading the work at the Coffee House/Training Center. They are currently operating the mission school. This operation is a perfect platform for ministry as well as a means to support monthly expenses at the training center. In addition to the coffee shop and training classes, they have started a motorcycle
cleaning business and a mobile phone shop. Through these businesses they have been able to build relationships with the community. As a result, the church that meets at the center is ministering to three families, two from a Hindu background and one from a Moslem background. In addition, they have started 2 home cells with 10 people.
While I was in Bali, I had the opportunity to encourage all our leaders, including Gunter & Neni. During my week stay, I was reminded again of how much spiritual warfare takes place in this Hindu stronghold. Hindu festivals take place all the time around the island. Over 90% of the 4 million inhabitants in Bali are strong Hindu believers. Gunter & Neni desperately need our continued prayers and support as they minister in this non Christian spiritual environment.”
