Pdt. Martin Rumanja Purba, M.Si
Ephorus, Gereja Kristen Protestan Simalungun "A baby who has an eating difficulty directly results to his growth disorder. Likewise are the servants of God, to keep growing we must eventually stop our habit of ‘susah makan’ or clearly said, lacking the desire to improve ourselves." |
Pdt. Togar Satria Simatupang, M. Th
Ephorus, Gereja Kristen Protestan Angkola "GLFI – PIC Indonesia is very good in supporting the development of church’s ministers and workers resources. This program is greatly useful in promoting the Gospel of Christ." |
Pdt. Hanna Surachman
Pastor, Gereja Bethel Indonesia
"Shalom! I am so grateful to God because God has brought me together with GLFI especially PIC Indonesia. I learned many things that added my knowledge and understanding in the Word of God. In the past, I only “know” without any true understanding of God’s grace, saving faith, and assurance of salvation in God. I really enjoy the study of the Word of God by Rev. Paul Choo and my understanding of it has improved, I am more assured of my salvation in Jesus Christ. In my church ministry, I also experience changes and grace after grace. Also, my congregation experience God’s grace in assurance of their salvation through their worship, offerings, and service not to earn heaven but because they are already assured of heaven."

Praeses Pdt. Mangido Tua Pandiangan, STh, MM
Praeses Huria Kristen Batak Protestan District VII Samosir I am so thankful for PIC Indonesia in my district VII Samosir. For us who are serving in Samosir which is becoming a tourist destination, English has become a main necessity. Moreover, since this course is also an evangelism training…thus, it’s a wow… it becomes relevant and urgent. I hope our friends in Samosir will have the same understanding and vision with me about the importance of this PIC Indonesia program especially for us as Pastors who are serving in a tourist destination. |
Pdt. Kancon Nababan, Sm. Th.
Praeses Huria Kristen Batak Protestan District XVI Humbang Habinsaran We are so happy with PIC Indonesia’s presence in our district, to help church ministers in spreading the Gospel of salvation. Rev. Paul Choo’s experiences and testimonies motivate us to be more active in ministry. And the PIC videos had opened our minds that a church minister should have more training. So that Pastors can be wiser and smarter because our congregation nowadays is getting smarter too. Now is the time for pastors to upgrade in their ministry for the future. |
Pdt. Richard Hutasoit
Pastor, Huria Kristen Batak Protestan Pamansuran, Siborong-borong, North Sumatera
"I would like to thank God for the opportunity given to me and my team from HKBP District XVI Siborong-borong to join PIC Indonesia through GLFI. Through PIC Indonesia, we have learned many things mainly related with English language especially about the Gospel. The lesson that is produced by the team of GLFI – PIC Indonesia is easy to digest especially about the work of salvation by Jesus on the cross that was fulfilled with one word “tetelestai” or “it is finished.” Our hope is that this program will continue to bless many more people."

Pdt. Novalina Leliana S. Th.
Pastor, Gereja Kristen Protestan Angkola
Honestly, I would like to say that I am so grateful to be a part of PIC Indonesia. Meeting and joining PIC Indonesia is a blessing because in this program, I was refreshed with my understanding of the Gospel. In fact, I was reminded on how to share the Gospel correctly. In PIC Indonesia I was more enlightened about the real understanding of the Gospel. Deeper, very clear and with simple theories that are always based on the true Word of God meaning, there are supporting verses. Even though I have theological background but I never get the Gospel as clear as when I found in PIC Indonesia. PIC Indonesia thoroughly examines the truth of the Gospel that it is indeed important and precious. Before, I thought that I share the Gospel in the right way, but after I joined PIC Indonesia, I realized that there are still a lot of things that I haven’t delivered. In fact, honestly what I used to preach are advice not the Gospel. And PIC Indonesia has helped me a lot in understanding and becoming a Gospel preacher, preaching the Gospel in the right way. I really feel blessed to meet and join PIC Indonesia programs. And one more precious thing that I got by joining PIC Indonesia is that my salvation will never be lost. My understanding in the past, our salvation can be lost because of our bad behaviors and character, but PIC Indonesia has clearly enlightened me that salvation is forever ours unless we are the one who let go and leave it.
