John 20:21-22
'Again Jesus said,
'Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And with that he breathed on them and said: 'Receive the Holy Spirit'.
(NIV)
Our partner from the Ivory Coast gave the first training to the workers in Indonesia in November of the previous year. We received enthusiastic reactions to this training from both sides. There was a click between the two cultures. Our partner from the Ivory Coast did an excellent job in making clear how it is possible to produce attractive television programs for people who do not know Jesus.
This month this partner intends to travel to Indonesia for a follow-up course. This time another worker will accompany him. The intention is to prepare a test program, to shoot the film and edit it together. They will also make an inventory of what is necessary to produce such programs in the future and make a budget of the costs. Afterwards this program will be evaluated by all of the people involved.
If all are convinced that the target group can be reached best by means of such programs, the production will be started.
Warawu reacts to an appeal to pass on the good news: “I try to spread freedom, justice and peace in my neighborhood, but meet with much resistance. People in my neighborhood try to discredit me, they slander and hurt me. Will you please pray for these people?”
Give thanks for the fruitful teamwork between Indonesia and the Ivory Coast in the first training?
Pray for the follow-up training and a good result of the test program?
