Hello world! Hello Melanesia! Hello Indonesia!
8plus1 or Eight Plus One or The Nine Ministry is the ministry established by the children of the First Nine Baptized Members of the Evangelical Church of Indonesia in Kelela, western New Guinea.
This ministry is specifically aimed at informing the Evangelism activities carried out by the children and grand-children of the first 9 baptized members of the Evangelical Church of Indonesia (Gereja Injili Di Indonesia) in spreading the Good News of Salvation in Jesus Christ to many Indonesian non-Christians across what is now known as the Unitary Republic of Indonesia (NKRI – Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia).
The Great Commission of Jesus Christ clearly spoken in Matthew 28:18-20
[18] And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. [19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Jesus is with us Christians. Jesus promised to be with us! And He promised be with us alway, all the time, unto the end of the world!
When I type this letters in this blog, I my mind tells me something pessimistic and rational that we Melanesians do not have the experience of sending missionaries outside our race and ethnicity other than sending our missionaries from one village and tribe and islands to the others in our own communities. The rational also tells me that we Melanesians do not have that much money to send missionaries to go to Indonesia and spread the Good News.
I submit to God’s word! I surrender my rational and my mind to the greatness of Jesus Christ! I am submitting myself to follow Gods guidance and protection. UNTIL as many Indonesians as possible become members of the body of Jesus Christ.
