I (HEART) JAKARTA!!


And the love affair begins :) I LOVE this place! Its like my Lagos, only a bit cleaner, with less traffic and definitely much cheaper. The people are very friendly and just so sweet, and the spiritual climate is just so open. For a professed moslem nation, there seems to be a high degree of tolerance and peaceful coexistence ( for the most part :))

The team out here is great and it is exciting to get to know some of my co-consultants better. The food is awesome! and there is just so much of it... I've had to miss breakfast twice already just because I was still full from dinner, and I have only been here 3 days!

After much deliberation and skilful re-arranging :) I finally got my client on Tuesday. Surprise, surprise, he owns a bakery!! Whohoo, talk about God ordained matching ( if you dont know what this is about, remind me to bake you a cake sometime). He told me "Oh I do more on the business side", but then sits around doing product development in his head and coming up with new flavors and products to sell... hmm.

He also has such a big heart for ending poverty, though he'd call it "improving quality of life" and I'm looking forward to working with him on fleshing out some strategy and ideas!

Follow up on the team's adventures on the rep site!

Prayer needs:
- For clarity on what the purpose of the business should be
- For continued alignment between him and his wife as the business grows
- For encouragement for him as he continues to pursue this passion.
