• Life longDuring bertahun2 , since the age of 20 years to get married , I ( YY ) tied to gambling and alcohol . This is a result of my association with peer teman2 .
At home , I was a good boy . But outside the house , I always do mischief , in discos and nightclubs in Surabaya . In 1993 I became acquainted with a woman who is now my wife . In the same year , we are planning for a wedding . The whole family suggested that we are blessed in the church because we are all Christians. After getting married , I did go to church , but actually I do not sungguh2 . Drinking alcohol in a nightclub has been stopped , but because I do not memunyai another hobby , then gambling is entertainment satu2nya football .
• RepentanceOn Friday morning in November 1996 , on his way to go to the office I went to the newsstand to buy a paper football . But after arriving at the office and have not had time to read the information juara2 football , tiba2 an old friend called me . Previously he was a friend of my gambling , but now he has repented and warned me to leave the bad activity , and followed Christ in earnest .
Actually , some time ago I was trying to leave the bad habits and turn into a responsible man , but I do not know how to begin . When he invited me to visit an event to pray and fast , that is where Jesus touched my heart . Since that day, Jesus help me to be free from gambling and I follow the Lord Jesus with all my heart .
• Heart for soulsAfter I sungguh2 follow Christ , in mid-1996 a friend invited me to a meeting . There I learned how to serve the Lord with great sacrifice . Jesus also made me more homesick hearts bring jiwa2 from all tribes and languages come to the Lord .
In the same year , not only the Lord Jesus has led me to start a new shop and parted from the family business , but I also can cope with all hutang2 that accumulate as a result of the accumulation of high interest because of the crisis . Only about 1 year , we have been free from all our hutang2 .
In 1997 , before my mother was called home by the Father in heaven , bertahun2 length he prayed for me . Apparently, he could still see his prayer was granted ; most mischievous child I had been changed . In the course of the next life , I see that after the surrender fully to life in the hands of the Lord , Jesus is always with me , even if we have to pass through many valleys of suffering , both within the family and the business . Struggle is the struggle for the sake of the Lord means to shape me into a tough guy and perfect .
• Holidays with anak2On Saturday March 31, 2001 , I was picked by my wife at the office for the weekend along with our third and second anak2 our maid to one of the hotels in Batu , Malang . Once there , we rested for a moment , then at 17.00 , after anak2 up from a nap , I invite them to swim in the pool which is in the hotel . The pool is very deep for anak2 , so they put on a float in masing2 their hands and stomachs . I accompanied our first daughter , I and our two daughters , E who recently celebrated his birthday the 5th to swim together .
• Drowning in poolFinished swimming , my wife buoy release imposed by anak2 and bersiap2 to bathe them in the flushing , which is only about 3 feet from the pool . Apparently , unbeknownst to us , anak2 it again plunge into a pool without wearing a life jacket. When they lose , we immediately call them names and try searching around the hotel . Only in a matter of minutes , my wife yelled tiba2 pointing toward the pool . We saw two boys drowned in the bottom of the pool . I immediately jumped up and jumped into the water to raise the children. I noticed the limp state of their body and their heart rate was very weak . While at the bank, I immediately picked up the boy's legs up to try to remove water that meets their chests .
• My son could not be savedAfter trying to hold first aid and did not seem to show improvement tanda2 , then with the help of a hotel security guard , we get the two children to the nearest health center . After the doctor examined the situation carefully , they told us that the second child was very dear to us can not be helped . At that time , I could not hold back tears again , with a heart full of mingled distress and upset - ridden , we cry . After the doctors at the clinic stated that both our children have gone benar2 , that night we also immediately bring them home to Surabaya . When we were in the car , both our children were lifeless it was put to sleep on his back in the middle of the car with their toys and maintained by my wife . Our third child with the two helpers we were in the back . I was part of the front along with one of the hotel employees who help us drive the car up to Surabaya .
• During the return journeyDuring the trip , Jesus help me so that my mouth was not the slightest anger kata2 issued to my wife or maid accusing us both . In fact I did not blaspheme the Lord . At that time , I could instead bercakap2 with the hotel clerk who was a Son of God as well . When we arrived at the hospital around 21:00 , it was my good teman2 and more than one hundred fifty people attended teman2 others have packed the hospital ICU to provide support to us . Among them , there are praying for a miracle and that anak2 it back to life , but I know the Lord has chosen to take it from our anak2 .
• At home funeralWhen our son was buried at the funeral home , I looked at the little body in the coffin and , I know that children are sweet and lucu2 it will separate from us .
There will never be another exuberant welcome in the house when I go home .There will never again hold my laughter when my three children .I can no longer teach them like a Sunday school teacher who invited them to sing .
I can no longer teach them to fear the Lord every night , before going to the contest. I love them more than they know . When the school holidays arrive , I always take them for a vacation . Actually , bringing participated traveling is hard work , but even so I was very glad when can bersama2 with them .
When they are called by the Lord , I stand up and I bravely say that even today I stopped traveling one step , but I would run beribu2 steps to follow Jesus and the devil are not entitled to terminate every step for me to serve and love the Lord .
When meetings take place consolation at the funeral home in Surabaya , should we have to show them that we are people who are overwhelmed with sorrow and grief , but then Jesus gives tremendous comfort to us , so when I was asked to give a speech kata2 , I instead pesan2 deliver comfort and reinforcement to orang2 kalimat2 the present . In fact , before our second child was buried , I still give kata2 comfort and keep my mouth glorify the name of the Lord .
• Whatever happens I remain gratefulWhatever happens , I will always be grateful and thankful to the Lord Jesus . After the event was over , I still rejoice and remain firm serving God with passion . I strongly believe that the Christ that I follow that has a beautiful plan for both my son and for our family . I also strongly believe that since that time we 've entered the second child in eternal life with Jesus , and someday we certainly met with them in the Kingdom of Heaven .
One day , when I was following a joint partnership with my wife and our third child , we were met with a new servant of the Lord who we knew. By the time he was praying for me and my wife , she gives us a message that Jesus will make us " across the top of the earth with the vehicle bukit2 victory " . He further said that we do not need to be hard and we will continue to live in joy .
Since then we are always eager to witness the event dimana2 and we feel that with each passing day , but to remain faithful to serve the work of the Lord , we were the love of Christ as we are living satu2 GOD .
Bless the LORD JESUS .
