Bali, Indonesia

We took a short two-day trip to Bali to visit some friends who partner with Leading the Way. We encountered various humorous moments on our trip over but I think most of them fall in the "I guess you had to be there" category...let's just say Indonesian air travel is very different and disorganized. When we reached Bali we spent most of our time with our friends at Mercy Indonesia.Mercy Indonesia is a ministry which consists of a local radio station (which airs leading the way), a church planting team, and various teams that work to set up orphanages. We spent time visiting the radio team and one of their local orphanages and Josh was able to speak about Leading the Way on their local radio program. I was particularly touched by visiting the orphanage. Most of the children were rescued from refugee camps in East Timor and have no contact with their families. I was nearly moved to tears as they came together to sing songs about the joy of the Lord. We have seen some very unusual things as we have traveled across the country and we caught a few on Josh's phone...enjoy our photos...
