Paul Tan
Senior Pastor

Family: I have a lovely Proverbs 31 wife, Joyce, and two beautiful princesses Sharon (17) and Lorraine (14).

If I had a different job, I’d be a businessman.

My hobbies are exercising.

Favorite color white, blue, and brown.

My favorite book of the Bible is the book of Acts.

The last book I read was the book of Proverbs, “Revival Praying”, and “Question Behind Questions”.

Nobody know I  like gymnastic.

I wish I knew how to be more handy to do housework repairs.

My worst habit is  working too hard.

My favorite food/restaurant  Benihana (Japanese Food).

I am happiest when I spend time with the Lord and also when I am with my family.

Him Djuhana
Pastor

Family: Lilik (the wife of my youth), Josephine (my first born), and Jayson (my son).

If I had a different job, I’d be in construction and real estate.

The four guests at my fantasy dinner party would be The Pink Panther, Bugs Bunny, Spock (Star Trek) and the Avatar.

My hobbies are badminton, making money, vacationing, and shopping with my family.

Favorite color blue.

My favorite books of the Bible are Genesis, Deuteronomy, Proverbs, Isaiah, Acts, and James.  Two of my favorite chapters in the Bible is Genesis 49 and Deuteronomy 33.  Meditate on these and you will prosper.

The last book I read was “The Millionaire Next Door”.  I am currently reading “Good to Great”.

Nobody know I dared not try “Escargot”.

I wish I knew how to speed up my computer.

My worst habit is  eating too much.

My favorite food/restaurant  is Sashimi.  It is healthy, low carb, high protein, and high in fish oil.  You will live long and prosper …

My favorite restaurant is “Ocha” in downtown LA.  If you have not been there, you are missing the best food on earth.  The food is excellent and the price is right.

My favorite restaurant in Surabaya is “Hay Nam.” If you are in town, don’t miss the opportunity. You will not regret it.

I am happiest when I am in good company like my family and friends.   I am also happiest when I am done with what I have to do (like this bio!).

Tom Lay
Assistant Pastor

Family: My beautiful wife, Rosalina, is my high school sweetheart. I have 3 beautiful daughters who love to serve the Lord: Christina, Stephanie and Josephine.

I have a passion to help people, so when I was little my dream was to become a doctor, since a doctor’s job is to help people get healed.  When I came to the U.S., I worked as an assistant pharmacist and wanted to become a pharmacist, since a pharmacist’s job is also to help people get healed.  But God had another plan for me: He called me to be a pastor to help people to become whole.  As Proverbs 16:1 (NLT) says, “We can make our own plans, but the Lord gives the right answer.”

Favorite colors: Colors give me inspiration; my favorite colors are blue which symbolizes peace, white which represents wholeness, and black because it is elegant.

My favorite book of the Bible is: The Bible is the principle of my life; I learn wisdom from the book of Proverbs; I learn to praise the goodness of God from the book of Psalm. My favorite readings are the book of Jeremiah and the book of Acts.

I use my spare time by reading magazines, such as TIME, Newsweek, Bloomberg, Readers’ Digest, and The Economist, and books, such as Do Hard Things by Alex and Brett Harris, and The Art of War  by Sun Tzu.

My worst habit is not having anything to do; which makes me lazy and I tend to go to sleep . . .

My favorite foods are homemade foods, especially those made by my wife and my mom.

I am a very happy person but you can make me happier by bringing people to know Jesus.
