The service, which took place from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM Central Indonesian Time (WITA), was attended by approximately 270 inmates. Seven members of the YJLK ministry team were present to share compassion, offer moral support, and instill a sense of spirit and hope in those currently undergoing rehabilitation.
For this event, YJLK invited Pastor Leonard Ferdinand as a guest speaker. He is well-known for his profound personal testimony—a journey from a dark past toward repentance and a complete transformation of his life. This experience has become a vital part of his current ministry, which includes visiting and serving inmates in various correctional facilities across Indonesia.
6 September 2026, we paid a visit to one of our elderly SDA members who lives in the village of Tigawasa. 
It took us more than 2,5 hours driving from the city to this village, and we walked around 400 meters from the nearest road. This elderly father’s name is Ketut Toria and he is about 103 years old. He became believer about 20 years ago.
Across the villages and communities of Bul
eleng, there are people who may never walk through the door
s of a church—but they are waiting for someone to walk through the doors of their homes.
They are families facing economic hardship. Elderly people living alone. Children who need encouragement and educational support. Families who struggle to access healthcare. And individuals who quietly carry questions about life, faith, purpose, and hope.
Behind every village is a family.
Behind every family is a story.
And behind every story is a precious soul.
These are not simply communities on a map. They are people whom God loves.
During Dr. Jonathan Sule’s visit to Bali this year, we had the privilege of making another visit to Kerobokan Prison as part of our ongoing commitment to sharing God’s love and bringing hope to those who are longing for truth. This visit was more than just an opportunity to meet our brothers behind bars; it was a meaningful moment to remind them that they are not forgotten and that God’s love reaches every person, regardless of their circumstances.
Together, we shared the Good News of salvation, offering words of encouragement, faith, and hope to the inmates. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to hear the message of God’s love and experience the transforming power of His grace. Through fellowship, prayer, and the sharing of His Word, we hoped to strengthen their faith and remind them that a new beginning is always possible through Christ.
It was a blessing to spend time with our brothers in the facility and to witness how the ministry of compassion can bring light into places where hope may sometimes seem distant. This visit reaffirmed our commitment to continue reaching out to those in need, serving with humble hearts, and sharing the truth that brings freedom to the soul. We pray that the seeds of faith planted during this visit will continue to grow in their hearts and that each person will experience the peace, hope, and unconditional love of Jesus Christ.
YJLK and Adventist Women Ministry Outreach at Kerobokan Prison
On August 23, 2026, the YJLK team, in collaboration with the Adventist Women ministry team of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Bali District, once again conducted a ministry outreach at Kerobokan Prison in Denpasar.
This time, the ministry team was predominantly made up of women representing churches from across the Bali District. The program was held from 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., with approximately 160 inmates in attendance.
The message from the Word of God was delivered by GMP Reynold Naty from the Hallelujah congregation, bringing spiritual encouragement and hope to the inmates. We were also honored to welcome a special guest, Ms. Nadine Roberts, Miss Universe Fiji 2024, who blessed the gathering through her ministry and songs of praise.
As part of our ongoing commitment to share God’s love in practical ways, the YJLK team, together with the BWA ministry of the Bali District, also distributed boxed meals to the inmates. This simple gesture of kindness was warmly received and served as a tangible expression of compassion and care.
The entire ministry was filled with emotion, joy, and a deep sense of gratitude. It was a touching experience to witness the response of the inmates as they participated in the worship, listened to the message, and received the expressions of love extended to them.
Looking ahead, the YJLK team, whose ministry is also known as “SOGMinistry,” hopes to build a stronger and lasting partnership with the Seventh-day Adventist churches throughout the Bali District. We pray that this collaboration will open greater opportunities to support and strengthen the prison ministry that is already taking place.
Beyond moral and spiritual support, we also hope to invite individuals and friends who feel called to contribute as ministry sponsors, helping SOGMinistry continue reaching inmates with practical assistance, encouragement, and the hope found in God’s love.
Together, we can build bridges of love, restore hope, and bring light into places where it is needed most.
To God be all the glory.
