Spring News

Dear Friend and Intercessor,

At the end of May, Sumatra Bible School celebrates the completion of its 39th semester. The majority of young people who graduate (103) will go on internships in churches.

However, 20 pioneers are selected to open new, untouched locations. In addition, 6 are sent to unreached tribes.

I used to watch the students leaving the lecture with the founder of the school, Jan Siwi. My friend said: “Arto, these are ordinary village boys and girls, but they have the spirit of Zebulun and Naphtali. They go to their destinations with the mindset – either win or fall.”

Some of those who have been sent have experienced enormous hardships, even martyrdom. Still, over the decades, more than 2,500 new congregations have been planted all around that vast archipelago even to neighboring countries.

From Finland, we are involved in this cooperation.

Warm regards,

Arto Sädeaho
