5. Other important reflections:
As a response to the interest of lay people towards bible meetings, sharing, courses, which increases tremendously, we think of preparing a flying-team for biblical courses. This team will be prepared to conduct short biblical courses in dioceses all over Indonesia. We realize also the people need much more publications on biblical knowledge as help to understand the bible. So we think of publishing more books to help them understand the word of God.
