Joyo, a pastor in Indonesia, faces many challenges and obstacles in his two mission areas. However, he is grateful that the message of Christ is being conveyed to unbelievers. His home church holds three meetings on Sundays for Sunday school, youth, and adults, and the number of congregations is increasing, allowing him to plan more programmes for his congregation. Despite the challenges, Joyo remains thankful that he is still strong and healthy to do ministry.
