Farsijana Newsletters

Today is Easter. Christ is risen, and I painted Christ’s resurrection from the sea, merging with the green trees. Bernie and I shared communion on Maundy Thursday at our church in Yogyakarta. Easter is a blessing from the Lord Jesus to me because, during Passion Week, I reflected on Jesus’ journey to death, supported by the universe. A mournful nature welcomed Jesus into Jerusalem. The people welcomed Him. Tree branches seemed to offer themselves to be laid across the road as Jesus rode past on a donkey. But I am not Jesus; I conveyed my feelings of inadequacy and emotion before the congregation when I began preaching on March 29, 2026, a Sunday afternoon, as described in the newsletter.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

In the grace of Christ’s Lenten season. I am filled with deep gratitude for returning to Indonesia. After a month back, I have been busy with festive preparations for the 11th Anniversary of the Griya Jati Rasa Foundation (House of Authentic Sense = HAS). Before sharing our mission progress, I must share an incredible personal miracle that God has given our family.
