KKR Youth PGTI Ajak Generasi Muda Bertumbuh Dewasa dalam Iman

The Fellowship of Chinese Churches in Indonesia (PGTI) Jambi Region, through its Youth Development Division, successfully organized a Youth Spiritual Revival Service (KKR) on Saturday, September 12, 2026. Held at the Jambi Protestant Christian Church (GKPJ), the event was made possible through close collaboration between PGTI Jambi Region and the Amanat Agung Theological Seminary (STT Amanat Agung).

Centered on the theme “Becoming Mature,” this revival service aimed to refocus the younger generation on God’s calling in their lives—specifically, how to grow into individuals who are mature in faith.

The message was delivered by Rev. Hendro Lim, a lecturer at STT Amanat Agung. In his ministry, he emphasized the importance of youth as a crucial foundation for responsibly responding to God’s will amidst the challenges of the times; he highlighted that true maturity lies not merely in aging, but in the development of character and spirituality.
The event was met with great enthusiasm and attended by 148 young people from various churches across Jambi City, including:
​Gereja Kristen Protestan Jambi (GKPJ), ​Gereja Kristen Indonesia (GKI) Jambi, ​Gereja Kristen Yesus (GKY) Jambi, Gereja Methodist Indonesia (GMI) Sion.

Through this inter-denominational fellowship, the PGTI Youth Revival Service not only strengthened the bonds of brotherhood among young people in Jambi but also served as a moment for the church’s next generation to renew their commitment to faith, inspiring them to continue serving and living in alignment with God’s calling.

PGTI Jambi Region Mooncake Festival

Wholehearted Love, Sweet Fellowship: The PGTI Jambi Region Mooncake Festival Serves as a Bridge for the Gospel. A warm and intimate atmosphere enveloped EV Garden on Monday, September 21, 2026. Celebrating a Chinese tradition rich in the spirit of togetherness, the Fellowship of Chinese Churches in Indonesia (PGTI)—Jambi Region—hosted a Mooncake Festival attended by approximately 450 people. The event served as a gathering place that embraced congregants from various churches, families, as well as friends and acquaintances who had not yet come to know Christ.
Centered on the theme “Wholehearted Love, Sweet Fellowship,” the event utilized the mooncake tradition not merely as a cultural festival, but as a bridge of love to share the Good News. This gathering was viewed as an opportunity to reach out to new souls through friendly and open fellowship.

The program began with a relaxed social gathering, followed by a time of fellowship centered on a brief worship service. The message was delivered by Rev. Linus Baito, a lecturer at STT Alethea Lawang, who shared a profound message regarding the truth of eternal fellowship. He emphasized that the loving relationships and warm fellowship built on earth ultimately lead to a greater purpose: eternal fellowship with the Creator.

The evening’s togetherness was further enlivened by a showcase of talents from various congregations:
Dance Performance: Expressive praise through dance by representatives from GKI Jambi and GMI Sion.
Life Testimony: An inspiring sharing of faith experiences in Christ from the GKY congregation.
Harmonious Praise: A special vocal performance by the GKPJ choir. The event concluded in an atmosphere of joy and warm fellowship. Through the seeds of love sown during this time of togetherness, the prayer and heartfelt hope is that every soul present—especially those who do not yet believe—might be touched by the love of Christ and experience true fellowship in the Gospel.
