Rempang Update (1)

My last two days were spent in Rempang. It was great being back there to check on developments and to see familiar faces. 14 of us from various christian denominations with different backgrounds ranging from micro managing to agricultural expertise came together to see how we could help each other assist our neighbours here in the Rempang vicinity! On another level, it's good to know that God's bringing all His children together setting aside theological differences to come work together. Praise God! :O)

Our first stop was to check on the fish breeding area.


When the catfish surfaced, we got terrible excited! Healthy looking and salable catfish mature at the rate of 30 days and are shipped off to the local market. A portion is kept for the Asrama's (boarding home) consumption.


The boys dorm that caught fire and was burnt down about 3 months back is 90% repaired.


The tapioca planted 6 months ago look so much better than the ones I grew at the Art Ministry immediately when I got back from the last trip in May!


Overall progress from what we left Rempang in six months back looks good. Will be posting more updates in the coming days...
