This has been the fourth year, Korean brothers and sisters visited Gloria Senggarang Preaching Point for their one-day-mission trip. Collaborating with Mr Juseong-ung (주성웅) and wife who are the missionaries for Indonesia Methodist Church, the Korean brothers and sisters came to share God’s love in various activities every year. This year, we welcomed brothers and sisters from Glory Korean Methodist Church Singapore. They are still the holders of South Korean citizenships but they stayed in Singapore for working and studying purposes.
The
group arrived at Sri Bintan Pura Tanjung Pinang ferry terminal on Friday, 28th
June 2013 10am. With the small boat, they cross-over to Senggarang and had tour
around the village and the historical Senggarang Chinese temple complex.
After
lunch, the lunch was hosted and prepared by the women fellowship members. Since
few days before the day, the housewives had did the ingredients shopping and
preparation. On the day itself, they had prepared the lunch since morning after
sending the kids to school.
There
were some local taste for the lunch like Chinese Herbal Pork Rib Soup (Bak Kut
Tea), Hot & Sour Fish, Deep Fried Tofu & Soyabean Cake with Indonesian
Style Chilli (Sambal Belacan), and some more… Although the tastes of the foods are different
from Korean style but they also enjoyed the Senggarang style lunch.

friendship program, it will not enough only the Indonesians presented some skills.
