Over the last 2 weeks of January Vivienne and I were invited to visit Indonesia to let senior pastors of churches know about Celebrate Recovery.
On Sunday Jan 24 the opportunity was given for the largest church in Surabaya, Indonesia's second largest city (4.5 Million people) to hear about Celebrate Recovery as Keith was invited to preach at each of 4 services. In total something over 50,000 people heard the good news that CR is coming to Indonesia.
In the following days senior pastors from several other churches also gave us the opportunity to talk with them about Celebrate Recovery and a local radio station gave us and hour of talk back radio to let many know about God's plan for their lives free from their Hurts, Hang ups and Habits.
We plan to be back in Surabaya in April with other leaders to conduct several one day seminars,with several hundred churches expected to attend and have also been invited to large churches on 2 other islands to conduct seminars and preach in services.
Later in the year we will also conduct one day seminars in Jakarta Indonesia's Capital where we expect many more groups to get started there.
It's exciting to see how God is moving in His way through CR.
