Pekan Baru Mission Team - "Evangelism in The Work Place"

Pekanbaru has become one of the largest city in Sumatra after the city of Medan in the last five years. This is marked by the establishment of grand buildings such as the Governor's Office, Library and hotel Labersa has become a new icon Pekanbaru city. Progress was achieved as the positive impact of economic growth in Riau Province that rely on oil and palm oil. Not surprisingly, many businesses began to grow and to invite the nomads from other regions to try luck in this town. Evangelism in the workplace to be one opportunity not to be missed.

Irvan Hurray, the first baptism of the church Pekanbaru brought some friends to study the Word of God, one of which is the Nius Harefa, coworkers. Nius has the same struggles with Irvan, that is smoking, when challenged to stop smoking, he's a bit heavy at first went along. When there Irvan work place, he does not smoke, but when Irvan not there, he's smoking. Until one day he realized the situation and stop smoking, not because of being challenged, but because he wanted to love God and seriously to repent. Finally after a month studying the Bible, dated October 11, 2009, Nius was baptized and become disciples of Jesus *).

Currently there are 15 people who are studying the Word of God, there are three sisters who study well, two of them named Yani and Lastri've learned "baptism", other study named Love is learning "repentance", please pray for them to be baptized at the beginning of November. Greetings from the congregation of Pekanbaru. To God be the glory!


*) Currently Nius was in Binjai (located near the city of Medan) visits his mother who is sick, please pray for her healing and also the spirituality of our brother Nius.
