00:21 - Hello and welcome to "Jesus for Asia Now." 00:23 I'm Natalie Wood and I have special guests today 00:26 joining us from Indonesia. 00:28 Welcome, Ramon and Shandy. 00:30 - Thank you. - Thank you. 00:31 - Glad you could be here with us again. 00:32 - Thank you. - For having us again. 00:34 (all laughing) 00:35 - It's wonderful to hear the stories 00:37 and to talk about what's going on. 00:39 And like I said in the intro, 00:41 you're from Indonesia. - Yes 00:43 - And you've got a new kind of ministry direction 00:48 that God seems to be leading. 00:49 Can you share with us what that is? 00:51 - We started a new life as missionaries in 2011, 00:57 officially as missionaries as we took on this work 01:01 as satellite missionaries. 01:04 We have a television work 01:06 and we moved our family outside the city 01:10 to the countryside also that's where we have our studio 01:14 and then we're also living amongst 01:16 the poor villagers in Indonesia. 01:22 We have clinic to serve them. 01:24 We help them with their health 01:27 because Shandy and I, we were curious 01:31 about health ministry at the same time. 01:34 And just because we weren't really the healthiest people, 01:37 we knew we had to fix ourselves. 01:39 We learn more and more about nutrition, 01:42 how to fix our body, our system. 01:45 So in the process of learning, 01:48 I took on some nutrition courses myself. 01:52 Upon learning more and more about it, 01:54 we got to share also what we knew amongst people 01:59 and we got to apply it with the villagers 02:02 where we live. 02:04 That kind of led us from one community 02:09 to another and then we become like, 02:13 sort of nutritional coach, 02:15 if you can call it that. 02:17 - Okay, kind of the lifestyle coach, 02:19 I think it is the term 02:20 that a lot of people use now. 02:21 - And then we started to be connecting 02:25 with people who we sort of left years before. 02:31 - Okay, so they were friends from before 02:33 you became missionaries. 02:34 - That's right. 02:36 - Because maybe we thought when we like change our life 02:40 and then walking with God, 02:42 we thought that we need to forget about our friends, 02:46 our society, but.... 02:47 - We thought we couldn't relate with them anymore. 02:50 - Right because your life wasn't just changed 02:53 to be missionary, God had changed you over 02:55 a relatively short period of time 02:57 from a very worldly lifestyle, 02:59 parties and that kind of lifestyle 03:02 where money was the focus and all of that 03:04 to a lifestyle of seeking God, 03:06 and seeking to help others. 03:08 So it was a very drastic change in your lives. 03:10 - Yeah. - Yeah. 03:11 - So you assumed that that also meant 03:14 that now you had nothing in common with them. 03:16 - That's right. 03:17 That's what we thought in the beginning 03:18 but maybe God saw it differently 03:20 that we have a social responsibility. 03:23 Those are the people that God placed us there, 03:26 but maybe in previous life 03:27 we had no stories to share with them, 03:29 we had no means to bring them 03:30 to be able to see Jesus. 03:32 - No witness. 03:33 - No witnessing. 03:34 - And no testimony. 03:36 - And then in the process of becoming missionaries, 03:38 fixing ourselves, becoming healthy 03:40 and learning something that's going 03:42 to be good for ourselves. 03:43 Fixing our life, we started to pick up exercising 03:47 because we were lazy people, 03:49 I was lazier than her. 03:51 (Wood chuckles) 03:52 But along that process, God kind of introduced us 03:58 back to the society that we left. 04:00 Simply, we started running, we started swimming, 04:06 we did triathlons and then we cycled 04:09 and then because it was just so much training, 04:11 we sorta decided, okay, 04:14 let's just pick one out of the three. 04:16 So we picked cycling and then from the cycling, 04:20 it was fun and we were able 04:24 to meet this group of cyclists 04:27 and then from there they were asking Shandy, 04:32 Hey, you know what, Shandy? 04:34 You, with your knowledge with the things that you know, 04:38 you should probably lead this community. 04:41 It was sort of like a vacant, 04:43 wait, it was not a position. 04:45 It was just like a community of people 04:48 who were enthusiastic about cycling 04:50 and then about health also. 04:52 And then there's people that we sort of left, 04:55 I think seven or eight years prior to that, 04:59 they're like seven years older, 05:01 they wanted to be healthier also. 05:04 And then we started to develop a better friendship 05:07 this time around because now we have something in common 05:12 to talk about, like, how to become healthy, 05:14 how to explore something 05:15 that we had been taking for granted in the past. 05:19 - And then with that I remember like the first time 05:22 they ask this community, like triathlon 05:25 and then the cycling community. 05:27 And I was so scared because you know, 05:29 like, God, no, you change me already like this. 05:32 And how come you want me to back 05:34 to my previous life. 05:36 See my previous friends and it's going 05:39 to be so hard for me. 05:40 And then even with them to accept me, 05:43 to accept the new me. 05:44 And I remember I'm praying, 05:47 like, 'Lord, please give me a clear sign.' 05:50 And then I asked that like, 05:52 'Lord, if you really, really want me to go there 05:55 because, I just don't want like go back 05:58 to my life anymore. 06:00 And then I remember I asked my husband permission, 06:03 'Hey, Ramon, these people want to have me.' 06:06 And Ramon say like, 'Shandy, you remember 06:08 the story about Paul? 06:12 You know, like God sent him back 06:15 to the society. - His society. 06:17 - And I say, 'I'm the one who's really scared. 06:22 Like, God. 06:23 And then I asked God the clear sign. 06:25 If you want me to go, 06:27 I don't want to go by myself. 06:29 I want to go with my husband. 06:31 So, you know, you need to provide 06:33 any kind of.. - Facility. 06:35 Facility. 06:37 You're not like before equipments, 06:38 you know, like bike, 06:40 I cannot just only buy one bike. 06:42 I need two bikes, you know for him. 06:44 And I remember I give even God a deadline 06:47 because I really want to know the clear signs. 06:49 I remember I praying that day 06:51 and I asked God, if you really want me to go there, 06:56 I'll give you one week 06:58 to provide the money exactly the month 07:02 because I need to buy the two bikes. 07:06 And yep he provided. 07:08 We finally got it that week and exactly a month. 07:12 And then that's it. 07:13 I tell my husband, 07:14 - This is a divine sign. - This is a divine sign. 07:17 I cannot say, no. 07:19 Indonesia is big Muslim country. 07:21 And then it's really like, 07:23 if we see the success of the... 07:26 - Evangelism. 07:27 - Evangelism is very different in Indonesia 07:29 because it's Muslim. 07:31 It's not easy. 07:32 It's not common when you hear from 07:34 the other Christian world is easy to baptize people. 07:38 But Indonesia is really hard because is Muslim. 07:41 Because I have a Muslim background. 07:43 My dad until now is still Muslim. 07:45 So I little bit understand, you know, 07:47 what they think about us as a Christian. 07:50 If the Christian came and then surface the Muslim country, 07:54 when they say, yeah, we baptized a lot of people. 07:57 You need to see the detail. 08:01 They baptized the Christian in the Muslim country, 08:04 but they don't baptize the Muslim people 08:07 in the Muslim country. 08:08 So, it's really hard for... 08:10 Our aim is like the second coming. 08:13 So that's why, 08:14 but through that kind of society 08:16 through that kind of situation, 08:18 God is encouraged us. 08:20 Like your aim is the second coming 08:23 to see these people. 08:25 So now your job is what? 08:27 Are you still really willing to be consistent 08:30 with all of your choices until the second coming 08:34 until they really see that God is in you. 08:38 So that's why with this Muslim people, 08:41 we cannot teach them everything. 08:43 When they ask us... 08:45 When they ask me to be their leader, 08:48 the thing is, I asked them why you want me 08:51 to be your leader? 08:52 And they just tell, we need to lead 08:55 with people like you, 08:56 because your choices, how you teach 08:59 your children, how even your diet 09:02 and how your house. - Relationship. 09:04 Relationship because, we know you. 09:07 You are very modern person. 09:09 And here you are, you are very different. 09:12 Even with your dress, 09:15 even the detail about how you wearing everything, 09:18 your jewelry, it's nothing on you anymore. 09:21 - For them its something different 09:22 - For them is really, it's really big. 09:26 So that's why they say we need 09:27 to led with people like you. 09:30 And I cannot say no. 09:32 And then, so that's why I say. 09:33 - You pray right. - Yeah, yeah. 09:35 - Lord help me. - And I prayed. 09:36 - To be a good witness to this people 09:38 because they're seeing the witness. 09:39 That's what they're telling you. 09:41 That's why we need you to lead us 09:42 because we see all of the changes 09:44 that you're making in your life. 09:46 - Yeah. 09:47 - And they're interested in those changes. 09:49 - Praise the lord. 09:51 - We gauge the success of our evangelism 09:53 as when people are able to see Christ in you. 09:56 The way we bring Christ, 09:59 it's not necessarily, 10:00 okay, when do you baptize these people, 10:02 that's not success yet. 10:04 Like we don't see it that way with the Muslim community, 10:07 are they able to see Christ living in us? 10:10 This is what we have to do. 10:11 We are being put in the place where everybody 10:14 gets to see us. 10:16 This community became a large, very big. 10:20 And then people got to see our work ethics, 10:22 our commitment or our friendliness to people 10:26 because this people that we are connected with 10:29 this are people with lots of financial power 10:34 and ability and the people who are connected, 10:35 people in the political parties, 10:37 people who are in their business, 10:39 major corporations and banking 10:42 and sort of big industries. 10:45 And then they want to see who we are. 10:47 And then we praise the Lord, 10:50 since I think, five, six years ago, 10:53 we we've been doing it according 10:55 to what we know best. 10:57 Sometimes as Christians, 10:58 we're challenged to do the extra mile. 11:01 We want to just do the one mile usually. 11:03 You asked us to go one mile as good Christian, 11:07 you walk two miles. 11:09 Are we willing to do that? 11:10 The second mile is just a uncharted territory. 11:13 Nobody wants to do that. 11:14 In our cases, are we willing to do everything so perfectly, 11:19 even though this is community 11:20 will not even pay to do this. 11:22 We don't even get benefit to do this. 11:24 Some people are asking us, you live up in the mountain. 11:26 What time do you have to come to Jakarta? 11:28 Because recycling 5:00 in the morning. 11:31 We live up an hour and a half out of the city. 11:34 We're in the countryside. 11:35 So we had to drive like 3:00 11:37 3: 30 in the morning, we drove down. 11:38 We had to wake up like 3:15, 3:00 in the morning 11:43 already when they're able to see that. 11:44 And are like, you are so committed in running 11:45 this community what's in it for you. 11:49 Nobody wants to run the community. 11:52 That's why, 11:53 - That's why they asked you that. 11:54 - They gonna offer it to us. 11:55 And then we did it such a perfect, 11:57 because that's how Jesus did his work. 12:00 That's how he made his furniture. 12:02 Everything is just so perfect. 12:04 - And then, because our community is Muslim people 12:08 and Muslim people is very structured. 12:11 - They are structured. 12:12 - They wake up early in the morning too. 12:14 They have their own prayer early morning. 12:16 So God give us opportunity to become a leader 12:20 on the Muslim friends. 12:22 They even see the structure through us. 12:24 They just like, who are you? 12:26 And they become like, 12:27 they talking about us. 12:29 Like who this couple. 12:31 They do this just only for free. 12:34 And then even a lot of the popular brand, 12:37 the popular like - Sponsor. 12:39 - Sponsor brand. 12:40 They just waiting, like, just wait, 12:42 they're going to show their color. 12:44 They just want money. 12:44 No, we just committed. 12:46 And after that, they just like, wow. 12:49 And they talking about us. 12:51 And then they came and they just even, 12:53 and then when I say like, hi, 12:55 how are you welcome to our community?
