Brother Lukito is an example of what it means to be completely committed to doing the Lord’s work first. He is the District Employment Specialist for the Jakarta District and we have never asked him to do anything that he has not made time to do it. I have called him the day before he needed to put on a Career Workshop for some missionaries who are about to be released and he has rearranged his business schedule to be there. He is always ready to help in any way that he can. He often leaves his family and his work for a weekend to fly to some city to give a Career or Self Employment workshop.

He never seems down. When the flood waters entered his house and destroyed a lot of his furniture and his piano he did not blame the Lord. Instead he went out to help others, cleaned up his mess and gave his usual advice – “Cheer up and be happy.”

I am happy to write that he told us just a couple of weeks ago that by the end of February he had already made as much income  as he did all last year. I do not doubt that the Lord is blessing him for his willingness to serve – to go and do whatever the Lord commands.
