Sup people!
I'm glad to report that we've got two lovely messages mailed to us all the way from the kid's we're sponsoring, Gaiskha and Raka in Indonesia. I'll post what's written up here, and I think it would be great if you could leave a short 1 or 2 line greeting/reply back to each of them in the comments section of this post. Here goes.
Gasikha
"So that The Lord gives you health and blesses you Forever. That's all my letter for you and please do not forget to send Gaiskha your picture.
Kind regards and prayer."
Raka
"My school is far from my home. I usually go to school with my father. I really like Mathematic at school. But I like the other lessons too. I have a friend who sits besides me at classroom. His name is Farhan Riki Rafit. At school I like playing soccer with my friends in the field. That's all the letter from me now.
Regards."
Its encouraging to me, at least, that we're able to share the Lord's love to kids in the largest Muslim country in the world, and that our contribution is indeed making a difference.
God bless! I'll upload their picture soon haha.

Welcome!
Hi!
First and foremost, thank you so much for your heart in wanting to sponsor these two unsaved and under-privileged kids from Indonesia. You can find their individual profiles in the posts below, along with the specifics on what the respective agencies are doing to help to know our Lord Jesus Christ and to improve their standard of living.
I believe that what little we have all contributed will, just like the kid who gave Jesus his 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish in the gospels, be multiplied to impact the families and communities these kids are in. I also believe that your decision to bless these 2 kids will also be a blessing to you in your life. Today, you have sown into the eternal Kingdom of God!
Below, you can also find the link to subscribe your credit/debit card for the monthly payments required for this sponsorship. For your information, here's the names of everyone involved in this little project.
Tien Lang (Me)
Timothy Xie
Lim Hong Zhuang
Shawn Lee
Angelo Saria
Gino Trinidad
Samantha Wong
Stanley and Susan Tien (Mom & Dad!)
Again, a big thank you to everyone! I'll be posting up instructions in the future on how you can write directly to the 2 kids, and even visit them someday. Will let everyone know of these updates via email. In the meantime, stay cool and God Bless. =D

Completing the process will subscribe you to the billing list, which deducts 10 Australian dollars per month. This figure is arrived by dividing the cost to sponsor TWO kids, at 44AU each, by 9 people. (as listed in the post above)
