Update from the Tag Family - Indonesia

Dear friends and family,

Thank you so much for your prayers and emails. You all have been such a huge encouragement to us. We took Alaiyah to the local children’s hospital on Sunday morning and they admitted her into the hospital and started her on a IV with strong doses of antibiotics. She will be in the hospital until Friday and is doing so much better. Praise God for your prayers. Praise God for a great children’s hospital here in Pontianak. Her fever broke Sunday night and is now normal. Her leg continues to heal well with the antibiotics and she is eating. Please continue to pray for her recovery. Tomorrow the Doctor said they will take her off the IV and start giving her antibiotics orally. Pray that as we take her off the iv that her stomach will be able to handle the antibiotics orally. Pray that the incision in her leg will keep healing. Pray for a complete recovery before we go to Salatiga to start language training. We won’t leave until we know she has recovered. It has been amazing to see the hand of God through your prayers and also the missionaries here in Pontianak. So many hands of help have been reaching out to us with people staying in the hospital with LaNada and Alaiyah all night to translate and help. Please keep praying for Alaiyah and a full recovery. We serve an awesome God and He has wrapped His arms around us and Alaiyah in these past days and cried with us and lifted our eyes up toward Him. Thank you God.

With much love and appreciation,

Nathan, LaNada, Alaiyah and Anikah Tag

Come Down From That Ivory Tower

Hebrews 11 has become known as the "Hall of Faith." The reason is quite simple. The writer spends a great deal of time giving a role call of the heroes of the faith. After all, this chapter is about faith, and what better way to teach faith than to illustrate with some real-life examples. Mos of the people in this chapter are well-known, at least by anyone who spent time squirming in a Sunday School class as a small child, or who watched the late-night movies on the local channels featuring their stories. Who were they? Abel, Enoch and Noah. Abel pleased God with his excellent offering, Enoch was so close to God that he actually walked with God to the point that one evening, while walking God said to Enoch, "we are closer to my house than we are yours, so why don't you just go home with me?" Of course, Noah built an ark (according to God's instructions) that saved mankind from total destruction. Then there was Abraham...the father of the faithful. He...

A new convert?

I just learned, that we may have converted a "roll-tide" Alabama fan! You decide.

New Church Organized

It is always a tremendous thrill to announce the establishment of a new church. This post shares a little about our latest. On January 30, 2011 I met with the people of the Capilla De La Victoria (Victory Chapel) in Cleveland, Tennessee for the purpose of organizing and establishing what had been a mission work for well over two years. Previously, this group had met under the direction of Cliff Anderson in a part of the Peerless Road Complex. Pastor Tim Coalter (now State Presiding Bishop of South Carolina) shared with the congregation a vision of that local church planting two churches in the United States. We then joined in a partnership with the Tennessee State Office to share in the cost of rent and other needs for a period of two years. Since the inception of the idea, there were several changes. Pastor Cliff Anderson felt the need of a change and Pastor Tim Coalter was appointed to serve in another ministry. At this time Omar Velazquez agreed to assume the leadership of th...
