I am now in Bethany English Service (BES), with more than 200 congregations, an English speaking fellowship in Jakarta, in the Intercession Department. We have the vision to reach nations around the world, and today, January 24th, 2000, we are celebrating BES' 7th Anniversary. Though we are still few in the Intercession Dept., but we are made sure by the Lord that we must always minister unto Him, especially in interceding for Indonesia and other countries too, including your country.
Someday, it might be that you are here in Jakarta, so don't delay to visit our Sunday Service (+ Sunday School too at the same time) every Sunday at 17.00 - 19.00 in Gemini Room - Hilton Executive Club - Jl. Jend. Gatot Subroto - Central Jakarta 10002. See you there!
I was in a Bethany Young Adult Fellowship in Karsa Pemuda Building, now changed to Sahid Hotel. We have a Monday fellowship from 7.00 to 10.00 PM. I often attend the Family Altar, thats a cell group from the Bethany. We are more than ten people in a Family Altar. If our member increased to be more than 20, then the FA will be set apart to be two and so on. When the FA has become 4 or 5 with members about 50 persons, then a little church can be formed. Now in the area of Muara Karang where my FA is, there are already 4 FAs and we are praying for a place and the guidance of God to form a little church.
Before I was in a Pentecostal Church with its Center in Surabaya, East Java, but there is no cell group like in Bethany, thats why I moved to Bethany. I feel so blessed following FA, for all members are prayed by the leader and at the end, we prayed for the leader. My leaders name is John, and he is ministering in song leader, singer, and of course preaching. In FA, from 7.00 to 10.00 PM, often half of the time is for prayer.
Thats the way of fellowship in my church in Jakarta, how about yours in your city?
There is a fellowship too in my campus, though now I am graduated already, I seldom visit it, but I am so grateful for Gods guidance in my campus fellowship. My campus fellowships name is Kegiatan Sie Kerohanian Kristen (KSKK) Unsada. There have been some conflicts about churchs tradition in KSKK, but now the conflict ceased and I think thats Gods to make every believer in Christ to become one in Christ (It reminds me of a song "Make Us One" the one I used to sing in my campus and now its still continue to be sung): "Make Us One"
