Jules to Indonesia

I didn't think we'd be going back.
Well, maybe to Bali for a grand vacation or to Borneo for a visit with Mama Eki.
But moving back?  Not in my plans.

But God's plans were not my plans.
Surprise.

This Spring, after a 40 day waiting-on-God "fast", a certain people group that caught my heart's attention 10 years ago came up again -- the people group that largely populates Indonesia.  And then again, another "coincidental" time, the nation of Indonesia came up again.  And then again ... and again ... Until the door to possible service in Africa (for this time) closed ... and the doorway to Indonesia was wide open.

With much rest and refreshment under our belts, prayers cried, and hearts stirred, we again prepare to move our family across the Pacific and settle in that foreign land ... a random corner of this earth ... that lost souls may be found and more can join the Choir.

"Where are you going?" I asked Him (John 1:38&39) ...
And He showed me.

This was a gift given by our previous team in Kalimantan
when we left Indonesia in December of 2011.
Our new assignment is in Papua,
about 4000 km from Kalimantan.
