The Adventure of a "Prophet"
Since my arrival in Indonesia about 4 years ago, St. Francis Assisi parish in Aek Nabara (Northern Sumatra) is my second assignment. Our community is made of 3 Xaverian priests (2 Indonesians and myself). The parish is a large one and it has 51 chapels. The suffocating heat, the muddy or dusty roads-according to the seasons-and the long distances we travel to visit those outposts hidden among rubber or oil palm plantations really make our apostolate very exhausting and challenging.
