2015 DT XXII: Discovery Trip to DC
In September of this year, right after the OMC, some members of the FICA delegation made a trip to Washington D.C. along with one of the key speakers, Pak Christian Sohilait.

In coordination with other human rights organizations, we managed to get in contact with several congressman and senators, seeking for a time to meet with them and talk about this justice issue.

Common Grace Presented in LM 2004 by William
COMMON GRACE
INTRODUCTION
All of us were born as an enemy of God, we all born as a sinner, yet we still come with well functioning eyes, lungs and heart; that is common grace. Donald Grey Barnhouse once mentioned that common grace is when we are not a believer in Christ and yet we are still out of hell; when we are not in hell, but we are on earth in good health and prosperity; when we are not fleeing as refugees along the highways of a country desolated by war; when we are able to put our hand in our pocket and give a kid a quarter or a half dollar for an allowance. It is common grace that we have such abundance.

THE CHURCH
A. ORIGIN OF THE CHURCH
Where does the church begin? Some believe that the bible defines church from the very beginning or from Adam and so on. Therefore, they include O.T. traditions in their practices. Others use the definition derived from N.T., where church started from the Day of Pentecost. They distinct N.T. church from the O.T. church which is Israel.

2012 DT XX: Visiting Churches in Disaster Areas
In mid June 2012, we sent our staffs to help and observe how local churches in Ambon dealt with refugees from flood and landslide. We learn a lot from this experience, however 5 lessons stand out. One, the church in general is not welcome in communities in Indonesia. This is mainly because the church is viewed as a disruptive outside force inserted into the community. They try to drive wedges between families, races, and groups, let alone with the local religions.…
