THE INDONESIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH (ECUMENICAL PATRIARCHATE)
24/1/2012

Fr Yohanes Bambang reporting from, Surabaya

The Indonesian Orthodox Mission, especially in North Sulawesi Island ( Manado), is growing up.

The New Orthodox Kindergarten has been built, although this new Orthodox School that I have built is very simple because this new school has been built from the wood, the people in that area is very happy with the existence of this new school.

This New School that we built has been legalized by the Education Department, even the head of the education department in Manado ( North Sulawesi) has been asking us to open and to make: Paket A, Paket B, and packet C Programs. Paket A is made for the people who do not finish yet from their elementary school, so that by following this packet A, they will get certificate from the Education Department as a sign that they have followed Packet A and finished, whereas Paket B ( for Junior High School) and packet C ( For high School), and I receive this offering and these packets will begin this year and still many things that we will do for the sake of Mission development in Manado.

For Example we plan to make an orthodox Elementary school and The Orthodox Theological School, and even the planning of Opening the Orthodox Theological School has gotten a blessing from The Religious Department Of Manado ( North Sulawesi Island), and The head of Religious Department will help us to build The Orthodox Theological School if we have piece of land as the place of build up, whereas the price of land is $ 5,000.00 with large of land: 400 m Square and this price is very cheap because the owner of that land want to donate for the need of our Orthodox Theological School and hence the price is kept low.

Based on this fact, We are really waiting from other orthodox Brothers and sisters to participate in it, so that the development of our Greek Orthodox Mission in Manado can be done nicely. We believe that without participation and help and sister orthodox brothers and sisters here, it is impossible for the Indonesian Orthodox mission to develop rapidly, therefore We request you to help and participate my missions in Manado, because, in the short time, I am planning to build the Orthodox Theological School base on the request of The Religious Department in front of Our Orthodox Kindergarten that I had built already.

Finally, for your goodness and care, Here I want to say thank you very much for your help.

Your Brother In Christ
Fr. Yohanes Bambang Cahyo Wicaksono

Note: The dateline of Asking me to have a piece of land is on November and after we have a piece of land The Religious Department will help and build the Orthodox Theological Building.
