Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
As many of you know that I’ve been doing an outreach ministry to the East Timorese people who are still in the refugee camp in Kupang, West Timor and I thank God that He has been faithful in providing for us for the past three years, and above all, I thank God that you also take part in helping those people be it spiritually and materially. Today I am not writing to you concerning the people in the camp, but a friend with cancer stadium 4. I feel like God wants me to have a broader view of what is happening around me to really care and do something for them. I never really write to people about anything else before but this time I feel like doing it just to share burden with some of you. I’ve been praying for a heart that loves people in need and I thank God that He has brought me to meet some of you who share the same vision.
So, I’ve been having some talk and sharing with my cousin these days about my ministry for the needy and thank God that she also has the same vision. Long story short, she shared about a friend of hers from church who suffer from Cancer stadium 4. Most doctors have given up on her, but looking at her spirit and willingness to be healed, it moved our hearts to support her. Her name is Frouky Dimu. This precious sister is a mother of 4 little children. The oldest is just 8 years old and the youngest is only 1 year old.
I met her husband yesterday to ask about the chronology of her sickness. Her husband looks strong eventhough I know he’s broken in the inside knowing that his beloved wife is struggling with death every single day. I could tell from his eyes when he was speaking to me. Think of how your world would change if you are faced with a situation where you can lose your wife, your husband, your parent, your child, or your sibling at anytime. Sadly, this family is facing this emotionally devastating reality, and they have no access to the help they need to cope and heal.
So we (Me, my cousin and some friends) are committed to help them out spiritually and financially for the operation. This precious sister was suggested to go Surabaya or Bali for further treatment but the family chose to not to go due to financial lack. We decide to start a community called “Youth Blessing Community” to raise fund for sister Frouky. We sell cakes to raise fund for her operation. She needs aproximatelly 50 million, IDR / $ 5000. We managed to raise 7 million so far and still in faith and effort for another 43 million.
Some people say we’re wasting our time and energy doing this since she could die at anytime. But we have faith in God and we do not lose hope. The fact that she’s still around regardless of her weakness shows that God has not finished with her.
I was reminded of the story of Lazarus in the bible (John 11). He was very sick that his sisters sent someone to meet Jesus to tell Him about Lazarus sickness. Long story short, Lazarus was dead for four days when Jesus finally came. But something interesting in verse 5 and 6. Jesus loved Martha, Marry and Lazarus so He stayed two more days. We cannot fully understand why would He delay but verse 5 gives us the reason why. Its because He LOVED them. We know the ending, Lazarus was raised from the dead, but many of us miss the point when facing this kind of hopelessness. We may feel like the Lord is slow to help, He’s delaying. But I believe in what the bible says, its because He loves us.
I believe God loves sister Frouky the way He loved Lazarus. And the fact that we see delay in her healing is the evident of God’s love for her. I believe its not by accident that it took 4 days for Jesus to finally come and raised Lazarus from the dead. It is to show us that even death is no big deal for Jesus to manifest His love. Many are time we hear people say, there’s no hope. But I believe, if there’s hope for the dead Lazarus, there’s more hope for the living. If He could raise a four days dead, He is more than able to heal Frouky, our still breathing sister. I believe there is hope in Jesus! And this hope is the reason why we dont give up on her.
So I invite you, to support sister Frouky be it spiritually or financially, and please share her story to your friends and relatives so that more people can pray for her. And if you are encouraged to support her financially, you can send your donation to the account bellow :
