As Rose and I continue to serve our partners, individuals, churches, ministries, seminaries so that they would adopt unreached people groups in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, I want to pay tribute to personal friends in the US and Singapore who are making this spiritual vision a reality. These tributes will be in several posts beginning today.
Dr. Garry Zeek has been the Senior Pastor of Grace Church in Kelsyville, CA for 8 years. We have known Garry and Sue since 2001. Not only is Grace Church supporting us, Pastor Garry has also encouraged his members to be our prayer partners and financial supporters, and a few of them have.
I have had the honor of preaching and conducting Stewardship Seminars at Grace on several occasions. Early in March 2015, Pastor Garry prayed over Rose and me as we said "Yes!" to Jesus.
Pastor Garry's heart for missions has taken him to many countries, including Africa. Grace Church has supported many missionaries all over the world under Garry's leadership.
Thank you, Rev. Dr. Garry and Sue Zeek for cultivating our friendship with your gift of listening and wise counsel. Garry serves as my Pastoral Counselor on our Board. We continue to pray for you both and Carly's health condition.
Rev. Dr. Netz Gomez and his wife Lourdes are Founding Pastors at this thriving 3000-member Houses of Light Church for 17 years! It all began as a Bible Study in their home. Even though we have known each other for only 2 years, God has caused our hearts to beat for the nations waiting on God's Word.
I have had the joy of preaching and conducting Stewardship Seminars at Houses of Light a few times. Pastor Netz committed to supporting our ministry outreach to the Indonesian people when we had lunch together in Pasadena in March 2015.
Pastor Netz reaches thousands in the US daily through his radio program. Houses of Light is poised to reach 5000 members in the next 3 years!
Thank you, Rev. Dr. Netz and Lourdes Gomez for blessing our friendship with your gift of exhortation and godly counsel. Netz serves as the Chairman of my Board at Great Commission International Partnerships.
These good and godly men, Warren, Garry and Netz are 3 faithful friends, and Rose and I would be at a deficit without them and their churches.
Please thank God for them and pray that their families and their church ministries would prosper because they sowed into our lives and into the people in Indonesia and Southeast Asia. As we begin the second year of our ministry in Asia, we thank God for the many friends and churches in the US who care for us and pray and support us. We also thank God that He is raising up leaders and ministries in Singapore to adopt the unreached people groups in Indonesia and Asia.
Thank you so much, our faithful friends in Christ's Great Commission.

In a previous blog, I shared how I've been asking this question for years: "Why did Jesus spend His last 4 days on earth in the home of Mary, Martha and Lazarus?" ( John 11:18)

If the Holy Spirit leads you into the wilderness, He will not leave you there alone.

Have you experienced a time when God showed up and God's people said "Yes!" to Him?
