Upon arrival in Indonesia, the District Apostle conducted a divine Service in the Jakarta Congregation Tangerang. Pr. Hartono went into retirement. The Priesthood in Jakarta was reinforced by the ordination of 9 Priests. This too can be seen as a sign, proving what it says in Acts 12:24 “but the word of God grew and multiplied”.

The congregations in Central Java welcomed the District Apostle in 2 District Services, one in Tanggerang and another in Cilacap. 765 souls gathered. The District Evangelist Lasmanto went into well-deserved retirement after 35 years of service. As successor the Ev. Sukmo Hadi Prayitno was ordained a District Evangelist. Pr. Priyanto received the Evangelists ministry and the commission as Rector for Cilacap.
