Medan, Day One...


We woke up early at 7.00 am today (but one hour later than Malaysia time). We had our breakfast at the Hotel Cafe and got ourselves ready waiting for Susan at the Hotel lobby.


On our way to Bible School...

Busy street of Medan...

The street of Medan City reminds me of the street of Sibu, but Medan is 50 times bigger than Sibu. The driving habit of the people in Medan is different from Malaysian. They like to sound their horns as they drive... If you dismantle their horns, I don't think they will be able to drive!


Susan Hoover speaks the Language of Indonesia
Watch this video and you will be amazed by the way Susan speaks the Bahasa (language) Indonesia... It must be God! She reminded me of the incident in the Book of Acts where the disciples spoke of different tongues...



Gereja Bethel Indonesia (GBI Rock)
Celebration Bible School is located at the top floor of the Medan Mall. They are using Gereja Bethel Indonesia (Indonesia Barthel Church) to conduct their bible class.

The chair of GBI ROCK
Gereja Bethel Indonesia at the Medan Mall identify themselves as GBI ROCK!


Zach and Elder Alex at the Teaching Session

Elder Alex enjoy himself at the teaching session. By the way, towards the end of today teaching, Elder Alex laid the foundation among the students by expounding on the truth of 1 John 1:9 ~ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness
Few of the students put up their hands and asked those questions that you all are familiar with... Well, let's see what is the effect tomorrow... :) Anyway, I enjoyed the class very much...

Sate Lilid Bali
They spell Satay as Sate. This Satay Lilid Bali is very delicious, I must get Penny to make when I reach home...

Indonesian Fried Rice...
Sorry guys, I was too hungry that I forgot to take the photo. This is the best I can do to proof that the fried rice was delicious... :)

Susan is coming to pick us up to meet her missionary friends in Medan tonight. So, I'll be back with more good report... :)
