20/24-12-2019 Kintamani Village

These 5 days, we spent in the village Kintamani. It was a nice time there. The place where we stayed was very beautiful as well. Lots of palm trees, nice garden, birds in cages and jungles literally everywhere. Some of us stayed in small rooms and others in tents in the front yard. The people that we stayed with, were very nice to us. The father of the family we called Bapa, which means father or sir in a formal way, it was impolite to call him by name, and his wife - Ibu (mother, misses).
I was leading those 5 days and I really enjoyed it. It was my first time I think to be a fully leader 24/7. It was indeed a cool experience. In general I liked leading, but sometimes it was a little annoying as well to hear lots of different questions about everything from everybody. But I believe God taught me a lot through that.
During that week we were helping with the cooking at the house, helping at the church, we were sharing the testimony there, playing a skit, helping with the cleaning up and Christmas preparations, playing with kids and making a spontaneous kids program, doing the house visits and sharing with Hindu people about the love of Jesus and simple Gospel. Once we were also walking on the streets and then Daniel noticed some guys and he started talking to them, they were talking for around half an hour or even more, he was sharing about Christ and afterwards we stood in a circle and prayed for that guys. People were very open there and were so excited when we asked to pray for them. Once I was talking to one old lady, she was over 90th, I was sharing the Gospel with 2 translators: English - Indonesian - Balinese, so it took quite a long time to tell just a little. But this lady seemed so touched by what I said that I could see tears in her eyes. I believe the Holy Spirit worked in her heart that moment.
Therefore I can say it was definitely a nice time for everybody of us there. Enjoying our outreach so much!!
