we traveled on bumpy dirt roads for two, three hours out of Perkanbaru, into acres and acres of palm trees. Nestled somewhere in the midst of the palm tree plantation rests Bethel Church Indonesia and a little village.
During one of our prayer/ youth service ministry, I felt an slight tingle on my left hand. I felt like God was telling me to lay hands on the head of a seventeen year old girl sitting near me. Initially I hesitated, not knowing whether or not it was culturally appropriate for a male to touch a female's head. Eventually I thought, ah what the crap, it's God's fault if it is inappropriate. So I lay hands on her head. As soon as I touched her head she fell back.
I opened my eyes and started laughing. It was kinda weird; nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
Tomorrow we travel for three hours to an island village. God be with us!
