{FECA Vision Choir} Report No. 10

Sunday, July 17 - Today is kind of a sabbath day for us. We met at 8 for devotions (since we missed our devotion on Saturday due to the accident) and had breakfast and a short practice with Fanny (the Indonesian director leading "Shout to the Lord" and then we proceeded to go to the Jakarta International Baptist Church for an English service. Because of traffic, we arrived 15 minutes late, just at the end of the singing time. We sang a total of 3 songs and Czrilla shared a strong testimony about our experience from last night (with the accident). We then had a light lunch at a nearby noodle shop and returned to our dorm for some R&R, bu talmost everyone went to the mall across the street from the university to do some shopping, mainly for snacks. We then went to a seafood restaurant where Marshall and Meiring treated the whole team for dinner. The restaurant had really fresh seafood which one selects from all varieties of fish, shellfish, etc. and they are cooked wonderfully with their special sauces. We then returned to our meeting place at the university to do our Sunday devotion and had a short debriefing which mainly focused on the bus driver. We found out that he was held at the police station all night and will probably continue to be there for a few more days. He met with the family of the deceased and the police informed the family that the bus driver is completely innocent (one answer to prayer) but due to Indonesian custom, the bus driver is still responsible to pay for the funeral cost of the deceased Iwe will take a collection to help him when we find out more details). So Monday, he has to remain in custody to work out the details of the funeral and then hopefully on Tuesday, they can complete the paper work and release the bus driver. Pastor Ben had a chance to pray for the bus driver via phone today and he was very grateful. We learned that he talked to his wife and told her not to worry but stay home and take care of his 4 kids, what a caring man he is as he showed in his concern for us last night and not for his own welfare. We as a team are praying for 3 things: 1. That Isa (Jesus) will appear tonight in a dream so the bus driver will come to know the true God and the same thing will happen to his wife. 2, That justice will be done and he can be released quickly and not have to bribe his way out (even though he has already been declared guiltless). 3. That we can see him again as our bus driver before we leave Indonesia and we can rejoice together that he has become a family member.
