The real jakarta...

Went to a church next to a train station.. on Sunday early morning 7am...
They might be poor, but they're full of JOY... they're very welcoming, friendly, joyful...
Man, never in my life, met people so joyful like they are...


In front of Bu Tira's house... who's "Bu Tira"? read on..

The church building.. this tiny little building fits 80 people...
they have service EVERYDAY!... man, what kind of church have service everday? cool huh?
There are different people that comes to each day of the week..

Inside Bu Tira's house... 2 x 1 metre... yes it is a house... no bathroom, nothing..

just a small place to seat and sleep =) she was very welcoming... she invited me in! =)

They called her "Ibu Tira"... such a lovely lady, full of joy... she might not smile in this photo, but she was very joyful when I met her, despite her circumstances (husband passed away 30 days ago, all her children, 3 of them died and being poor...)

She said she was joyful, cause she has hope... in Jesus Christ!
mannnnn.... I can't describe how I felt when I met and talked to her...
I was crying inside.... *touched*

The surrounding...

a tiny dirty place.. most of them have to go inside their house when the train comes... if not, they'll get hit by the train...
