Solo Study Week 2025 in Indonesia brimmed with vigour and zest for God’s truth. It was great to see the contributions of so many from Solo Ecclesia, including the enthusiastic young people, in making the week so successful.
This year, visitors from Australia and Jakarta, 3 refugee contacts from Jakarta with two children, and a Timor Leste brother, currently studying in Jakarta, joined the Solo brothers, sisters and young people.
The studies centred on “Men of Faith” and were held over 3 nights at the hall. The lives of Abraham, Jacob, and Joseph were explored creating animated discussion and queries on their faith, life, and service. A special Bible class was held on another evening in the home of Sister Mamik who also hosted dinner for all.
Other activities during the week included home visits (including a large group visit to Sister Purwanti) and a day trip to a natural spring. However, the trip to Tawangmangu was the highlight. Here, the Iranian refugee couple, agreeing with our doctrines and moved by the love shown, gave good confession of faith and were baptised. Before the final morning was out, the Hazari Afghani refugee decided to be baptised too. His confession took place later that day, and his baptism was held in the hotel pool the following morning. The baptisms were handled beautifully by the Solo Ecclesia and it truly uplifted their spirits as well.
