This is a reflection from 2014 which I never published. It tells the story of why and how I returned to Indonesia nearly nearly 3 years ago as an SVD lay missionary at St. Paul Major Seminary-Ledalero near Maumere, Flores, in remote Eastern Indonesia.
******************************
It is with great joy that I announce my return to Indonesia in September, 2014!
Since returning from my trip in April, I have processed about God's
powerful healing and intervention in my life while I was there. I am
changed. Following much prayer and consultation with my spiritual
director, pastor, close friends and family, I have discerned that I am
to return. As an official guest of the Bishops' Conference in the
Diocese of Maumere on Flores Island, and for the Fall semester at the
seminary, I will again be exchanging ideas about the universal Catholic
Church and experiencing more of the Church and local culture there.
While there I will continue discerning God's will for the next stage in my life. I have placed myself
at God's disposal, having sold my house in Fort Worth along with most of my worldly possessions. I I couldn't be more excited.
Here I am, Lord. Send me! -- Isaiah 6:8
