Steve Cate, a missionary in Indonesia, writes: “Last August, I announced on the radio program that we would start a new series of English/Bible classes in Bekasi starting in September. Maria came to my house, as did other students who now study with us.
“Maria originally came from Papua. She was a teacher in a university at Jayapura in the communication faculty and was planning to go abroad for a post-graduate study sponsored by an NGO. So she became a student in our class to reach her goal and master the English language.
“She comes three times a week, and she pursues both the English and Bible lessons. She always asks about the Bible.
“One day in November, she asked me where we have worship, and I told her it was at my house. She continued to worship with us until one day she told me that she wanted to be baptized. She now worships with the church regularly just like Ida, Rider, and Abdi, all of whom have been baptized as a result of studying the WEI courses with us.”
