Oh what fun it was in late January to gather with our whole team for our annual meetings! We have a growing team, which included three new arrivals - two long-term women and one short-term young man. While we serve on different islands and in different ministries it is so good to get together, share our joys and burdens, and pray together.
For those able to, we spent the first day and a half just enjoying time relaxing, shopping, and eating fun places together. Then the remaining few team members joined us and we spent three full days in meetings and wrapped up with a time sharing Communion. I didn't take a lot of pictures because I was just enjoying being with everyone but here are a few taken by other members of our team...

| We spent the first evening praying for the unreached of Indonesia, each other and our ministries |
 |
| We also took time to pray for our two newest long-term team members. They are settling in and tacking language and culture study. |
 |
| We also spent time with men and women meeting separately to do some more in-depth sharing where where we focused on hope. |
And I got to spend time with some of my favorite people - the young members of our team.
 |
| Hanging out and taking selfies with Beatrice. Her big sister Annie is behind her. |
 |
| Hanging out with our youngest team members. I was present at all of their births here in Indonesia. |
Please be praying for the baby I am holding in my left arm. There were concerns about his development during our time in Jakarta and further testing in Indonesia has shown what may be a major problem. He is being evacuated to Singapore in a few hours for further testing and possible surgery. His name is David and he is two and half months old.
