Newsletter 2018 - 2

Greetings in the name of our gracious Lord to all TeamBoaz’ supporters always in prayers with donation! Every TeamBoaz' project is for helping poor neighbours - that is, operation of kindergarten and after school class for children in poor villages, lacking the opportunity to get quality education : teaching IT to local seminary students who will be the church leaders in future : medical ervice to refugees staying in Indonesia without any promise until their second nationality is settled.
While confronting these people under TeamBoaz' support, situated in diverse positions, an inspiration strikes me. "How come I am in a position to help them and they are in a position to be helped?" "If I were born in a poor village outside of Jakarta like them, or if I were born of an ethnic minority in Afghanistan, or if I were born in Korean peninsula under Japanese colonial rule in 1900s or I were a child of a POW in the North Korea in 1960s?" "Was it indeed possible that I would have been the present self in any situations?
The answer was, of course, "No." I could also have suffered in dire poverty, living in other countries as a refugee. I could have lived, with no idea on any dream, in a leaking shanty of a Jakarta slum village. I could have survived in a coal mine village in Aoji, filling the empty stomach with coal ashes, stigmatized as the descendant of a puppet army all my life.
By the way, I was born by my parents in 1975 in the Republic of Korea and therfore, I could have grown up enloying and learning many things. It can't be denied that the reason why I am in a position to help someone, lies not in my superiority or good-nature, but on His planned setting.
MISSION
Last Feb 23, TeamBoaz did its third medical service in Bogor district where Afghanistan refugees reside. In particular, the support from Karis (professional enterprise of the snake skin handbag), a Christian enterprise, and our Consulting & Tour made a significant contribution to this event.
When we had the first medical service here in December last year, there was much wary atmosphere in doubt if we approached them for a religious purpose. (evangelism) However, after having watched our continued and persistent endeavor, now they show their changed attitudes, volunteering in our service.
For smooth operation of medical service, young refugees, who can speak English, are taking on interpretation. Their support got even more active than that at the first service. When the service completed and equipments were packed, those who received medical treatments came up to us and sincerely appreciated our concern for them by placing their right hands on their chests. Now it seems that they've got to accept our affection without suspicion.
