Monday, 22nd August 2016 was a joyful day for the children of God in Tambaksari, South Sumatera. After 14 years of having divine services in a house of a priest, they now have a new church building, dedicated by Apostle Samuel Hadiwidagdo.

On 12th November 2002, the first divine service in Tambaksari was conducted by Evangelist Arisidi in a house of a brother. 16 souls gathered on that first service, and then it was set as a service station Tambaksari. Along with the existing growth, the station was set to be a congregation Tambaksari on 6th September 2006.

Apostle Hadiwidagdo used a bible text from Psalm 84:4:

“Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You.”

Apostle elaborated that we shall make God’s house as the center of life. It can be fulfilled if we guard it against conflicts and unpeacefulness, decorate it with thankfulness, fear of God and humbleness and also eliminate egoism and unfaithfulness, Apostle said. He concluded by underlining: “Those who act in accordance with that points will receive the blessing abundantly.”
