The day is remembered vividly! High above the Rocky Mountains, under crystal-clear skies on a chilly winter day, a Learjet 60 flew. Clive, the pilot, had been reading at home the book *The Peace Child. It told the story of a young couple who, in the 1960s, paddled upstream with their baby boy to a people group on the island of Irian Jaya. Their harrowing adventure was remarkable, but what impacted Clive most was how the couple demonstrated God’s work. 

 

From a business jet pilot to the start of another family journey to help people in a distant place, this Midwestern family began their own story of participating in the work of God in 2002.

 

The Cahaya Foundation has an unusual name, but how did it come to be? In Indonesian,  means light or illumination, symbolizing the purpose of the One who called Himself the Light of the World. This unfolding story would not be possible without the kind people who regularly pray and donate financially. We are also deeply grateful for the experience and generosity of Bob, Kevin, and Sam, members of the board of The Cahaya Foundation.

 

Thank you for being a part of God's ongoing story!
