Salam jumpa di Newsletter ICCC edisi bulan Mei 2015.

Mitra Tuhan di marketplace yang budiman, saat saya menulis kata pengantar ini , saya teringat akan situasi ekonomi terkini di Indonesia, situasi dimana semua harga kebutuhan meningkat, nilai tukar rupiah terhadap USD yang belum stabil dan telah melemah sejauh 7% sejak agustus tahun lalu, menurunnya pertumbuhan sektor riil dan bisnis yang lesu ditambah trend ekonomi regional asia dan global yang juga terus mengalami perlambatan(sumber ; James Lockett, peserta World Economic Forum at Dubai November 2014) . Semua yang sedang berlangsung disekitar kita tentu dapat menggetarkan atau menggelisahkan hati ,atau bahkan kita juga adalah bagian dari orang-orang yang sedang mengalami pergumulan. Namun pada saat yang sama saya juga mengingat bahwa sebentar lagi kita akan mengenang kenaikan Kristus Tuhan kita. Ini menjadi hal yang sungguh menarik, karena Tuhan kita telah naik setelah sebelumnya mengalami kesusahan yang begitu besar mulai dari proses penangkapanNya di taman Getsemani sampai dengan peluh seperti darah DIA berdoa agar kalau boleh cawan itu (penderitaan yang akan Ia hadapi)berlalu, Hingga mengalami penyiksaan yang luar biasa, disalibkan, mati, turun kedalam alam maut dan kemudian mengalami kemenangan dan bangkit.

Sebab itu mitra Tuhan yang luar biasa, marilah kita melakukan segala sesuatu yang Tuhan percayakan kepada kita di marketplace dengan mata yang tertuju kepada Yesus, yang memimpin kita dalam iman, dan yang membawa iman kita itu kepada kesempurnaan, yang dengan mengabaikan kehinaan tekun memikul salib ganti sukacita yang disediakan bagi Dia, yang sekarang duduk di sebelah kanan tahta Allah. Ibrani 12:2.

Atas segala tantangan yang sedang menghadang kita atau didepan kita, tetapi mari letakkan di bawah salib Yesus Kristus, dan kita harus sadar bahwa kebangkitan dan kemenangan juga akan hadir bagi mereka yang tidak hanya percaya kepada-Nya namun juga mau dipimpin Roh Kudus setiap hari dalam bisnis dan semua aktivitasnya. Salah satu values ICCC yang perlu kita ingat “ When we Listen, He Speaks – When we Obey, He Acts!”

Sebab itu mari kita terus melatih diri kita dalam melakukan aktivitas apapun agar mata kita melihat dan telinga kita mendegar Tuhan, it works!

Mitra Tuhan di market place yang luar biasa, sebelum saya mengakhiri sambutan untuk ICCC Indonesia Newsletter edisi bulan mei 2015 ini, mewakili seluruh National Board, kami menyampaikan terimakasih untuk seluruh doa,donasi dan partisipasi mitra Tuhan di marketplace atas suksesnya penyelengarn acara ICCC Bali 2015 Gathering di Nusa Dua Beach Hotel & Spa pada tanggal 17-19 April 2015 yang lalu. Saya mengajak mitra Tuhan untuk membaca dan melihat beberapa dokumentasi acara tersebut Di lembaran berikut News etter ini.

Terimakasih juga kepada tim formatur di Bali yang telah menyatakan komitmennya dan dalam doa dan pengurapan (saat acara ICCC Bali Gathering 2015) menjadi mitra Tuhan di market place dalam wadah ICCC Indonesia sub Chamber Bali untuk membawa kerajaan Allah di marketplace Bali.

Sampai jumpa di edisi bulan depan dan Tuhan Yesus memberkati anda sekeluarga.

Juwono Pengisi Acara : Vokalis Maribeth Acara dimulai dengan sambutan dari National President ICCC- Indonesia Tonny Sutjoadi dan sambutan dri Chairman of the Organizing Commitee ICCC 2015 Bali Gathering, kemudian dilanjutkan dengan sambutan dan pemukulan gong oleh KAPOLDA baru Bali, Irjenpol Ronny Sompie.

James Lockett salah satu founder dari ICCC begitu inspiring menyampaikan Visi, Misi dan panggilan ICCC, dilukiskan bahwa kita harus bersedia seperti halnya keledai bagi Tuhan Yesus untuk ditunggangi bagi kemulianNYA masuk di marketplace.

Sesi yang begitu singkat namun sungguh adalah pembuka yang inspiring. Alan Currie dari ICCC Australia juga mengisi sesi malam tersebut dengan luar biasa karena menyampaikan bagaimana Tuhan memelihara bangsa pilihan Tuhan yaitu Israel dari jaman ke jaman saat setelah pembuangan sampai kembali menjadi sebuah bangsa seperti sekarang ini dan menyampaikan panggilan dari pemerintahan Israel kepada pelaku bisnis di Indonesia untuk datang ke Israel dan membuka pintu bagi berkat yang Tuhan sediakan melalui bangsa Israel bagi marketplace di Indonesia.

Hari ke-2 dibuka oleh Benjamin B. Juwono yang sungguh memotivasi semua yang hadir bagaimana TWL (Transformed Working Life) sanggup menolong pelaku usaha dan profesional menjawab tantangan zaman yang terus negatif, Alan juga menyampaikan bagian dari TWL tentang bagaimana hidup kita seperti sebuah pohon yang akarnya merambat ke batang air yang benar sehingga

Page 4

menghasilkan buah yang benar dalam kehidupan kita, dan menjadi semakin menarik ketika Stanley Kee menyampaikan bagaimana supaya hidup dan menjalankan usaha atau karir kita dengan keberanian, melakukan apa yang benar butuh keberanian besar dan kita harus percaya karena Roh Tuhan lebih besar dari roh apapun didunia ini yang menyertai kita.

Tuhan banyak berbuat hal-hal yang luar biasa pada hari ke-2, dimana setelah break makan siang, James menyampaikan keadaan situasi ekonomi makro dunia yang sebenarnya, sungguh menakutkan dan menggetarkan hati kita namun Tuhan luar biasa melalui Johanis S. Najoan menyampaikan bagaimana membangun hidup dan usaha diatas batu karang yang teguh sehingga dunia pun dengan segala sistimnya tidak akan pernah sanggup mengguncangkannya. Dalam setiap sesi banyak yang menyampaikan kesaksian luar biasa dalam kehidupan bisnis setiap hari bagaimana Tuhan menolong dan menyatakan mujizatNYA atas situasi bisnis pelaku usaha yang hidup dalam menerapkan kebenaran Firman Tuhan dalam kehidupan Bisnis mereka.

Acara ditutup dengan Perjamuan kudus, dipimpin oleh Alan Curie dan kemudian mendoakan dan mengurapi National President of ICCC-Indonesia yang baru: Umbu Pekuwali. Pengurapan ini menjadi hal yang berbeda dari biasanya karena New National President ICCC-Indonesia juga di beri Sangkakala (langsung dari Israel) sebagai lambang pemimpin dalam menyatakan peperangan untuk Kerajaan Allah di Marketplace dan juga diberi Kain (Khas pemimpin di Israel) sebagai lambang otoritas.

PUJI TUHAN! TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!

A Fruitful Businessman Commit your work to the LORD, and then your plans will succeed (Proverbs 16:3).

Dear friends: Leroy Eger owned his own construction business in a growing metropolis on the Florida coast. Wanting to be a good steward of what God had given him, he committed every aspect of it to the Lord Jesus.

When a recession hit the building industry in his area, however, jobs began to get harder to find and the contracts became less profitable. Bills piled up, and he had to lay off some of his workers. Leroy found himself working longer hours. He tells how he no longer shared his faith in Christ with those he came in contact with each day, and was constantly getting irritated with his family.

Several times, his wife mentioned his change of attitude, but he was so wrapped up in his problems and the day-to-day details of his Page 5

work that he didn't listen to her. Each day he found it harder to turn the decisions he made in his business over to the Lord.

Finally, a family crisis made him stop and reevaluate his attitude. He was amazed at how little he now trusted God with his life. He wondered how he could have slipped so far away from his first commitment to give every part of his business to the Lord Jesus.

Thankfully, he confessed his lack of trust in the Lord Jesus and began to put God first in his life again. Leroy was a fruitful witness for our Lord for many years. In fact, this beloved friend of more than 25 years was used by the Holy Spirit to help train many, many thousands of people in sharing their faith and living the Spirit-filled life. He also faithfully served on our Board of Directors.

Not long ago I stood by his hospital bedside. Here he lay, possibly at the point of death and apart from a miracle he knew he may not leave that hospital alive. But as we talked and prayed he assured me of his supernatural peace. The Comforter was there with him producing in his life love, joy and peace. Leroy recovered this time, but it was not long before this saint of a man and good friend did depart to be with the Lord. He did so in great victory and in peace.

That is the heritage of every believer from the time we receive Christ until He takes us to Himself. We can know the reality of His comfort in times of heartache, sorrow, adversity, financial difficulties, loss of loved ones, or whatever the occasion, for He is the God of all comfort. "(He) always causeth us to triumph in Christ" (2 Corinthians 2:14, KJV).

Yours for fulfilling the Great Commission each year until our Lord returns, Bill Bright

and effort into the business was broken hearted and we quarrelled frequently in the office and at home.

Our business began to suffer and we landed up in debt, owing millions of dollars. How I tried in my own ability in the ways of the world but it was not working out at all. The Bible says Satan is the Prince of the World and the Lord Jesus called him the thief who came to steal, kill and destroy. During this time I thought he had me tied up in knots. I did not know where to go.

Success, as the world knows it, is measured by our ability to run and survive the rat race. In Singapore, where I lived and worked the past 18 years, this is no exception.

I was born into a traditional Christian family and have known about Jesus Christ since my younger days in Sunday school. As I completed my studies in Malaysia and went to New Zealand for my university degree, I began to prepare myself to run in this race within the urban setting.

The desire to be successful was so great that I started my own business after only 2 years working in the industry. My wife and I put everything we had into this enterprise. For 10 years we struggled and in every way possible we tried to make our business profitable.

While working in the day and spending most evenings out entertaining and looking for new business and contacts, I entered into a twilight zone which so many businessmen are familiar with. The temptation of wine, women and song were great and soon I got involved with other women. The extra-marital relationships began to affect my business, marriage, family and health. My wife who had put all her resources Page 6

Five years ago my wife was invited by as business associate to attend a Full Gospel Businessman Fellowship International dinner.

Out of obligation my wife urged me to go.

Reluctantly I agreed and that night I met many Christian businessmen who had gathered for fellowship and to share their testimonies.

Character transformation There was a man who spoke about his life and described his situation which was very much similar to mine. He had a top paying job as a financial consultant but suffered liver failure due to drinking habits.

Because of his relationship with other women, his wife decided to divorce him and moved the family away. In despair, when the doctor told him that he did not have long to live, someone introduced him to the promise of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He decided to receive the good news and the blessings that came after he received Jesus as his Saviour and Lord. Then, by the power of the Holy Spirit he received complete physical healing and transformation of his character. He talked about how God restored his wife and family back together and how he was able to lead a victorious life over temptation and sin. God gave him the Holy Spirit with the supernatural gift of healing and he had been used in many situations to help many sick people.

That night when the invitation was given, I desired to also have the same experience that this man had; to be saved from my financial disaster and also to have my health and marriage restored. I felt that if God could do it for this man, surely He could do it for me. As I went forward to confess my need and recognise that God through the work of His Son, Jesus Christ, could change my circumstance, I broke down and wept. Several Christian businessmen shared with me about the power of the Holy Spirit. They explained that I needed to receive the Holy Spirit into my life as it was the promise of the Father to all believers that they may have the supernatural ability to lead a victorious Christian life. This I began to desire for my own life and several weeks later, at a house fellowship I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

I wanted my marriage restored So great was the change in my life and attitude that my mother-in-law thought I had gone crazy from one extreme into another. My own father, whom I had neglected, said "I wonder how long this will go on", In my heart God placed a tremendous hunger: know the truth that is only found in the Bible and thirst for God's presence each day.

Every morning I will wake up before the sun rise to pray and whenever there was opportunity, I will be in Church or at Bible classes, I wanted to know more about other people's experience with God and how they related to Him. It was so easy to turn my back on the temptation of the world and to walk in the light as the Holy Spirit gave me ability.

Today, by God's grace, my business has been restored and we are busy as ever with new contracts. My health has been restored and the Lord has blessed our marriage and made it fruitful through a new baby girl, our second child whom we call Joy. I cannot help but desire to tell this story over and over again because it is true. There may Page 7

be many men and women who are going through broken lives and marriages with no hope or solutions. It is my hope that they find their answers as I did by knowing Jesus Christ.

VISI DAN TUJUAN ICCC International Christian Chamber of Commerce (ICCC) lahir dari kepatuhan terhadap visi yang diberikan selama kurun waktu enam tahun kepada seorang usahawan Swedia J. Gunnar Olson, yang diteguhkan dengan nubuatan dan terbukanya pintu kesempatan disekitarnya yang sebelumnya tertutup.

ICCC merupakan panggilan yang serius dan menantang bagi pengusaha Kristen untuk mengenali jaman yang sedang kita masuki dan dengan terang dari pengenalan itu memasuki dimensi iman yang baru yang disediakan bagi mereka yang …” takut akan TUHAN … berbicara satu sama lain … dan menghormati namaNya.” (Maleakhi 3: 16) Visi ini memanggil para pengusaha dan kaum profesi di seluruh dunia yang terbeban untuk saling berhubungan, bertukar pendapat, memperdagang-kan barang dan menyediakan jasa, saling mendukung dan menguatkan secara rohani dan materi. Berdasarkan eksistensi dari visi itu sendiri memproklamirkan otoritas Kristus yang mutlak diseluruh dunia.

Pada intinya ICCC adalah kehendak TUHAN untuk memperluas tali kasih-Nya, melalui gereja-Nya, didalam dunia usaha. Hal ini menuntut para pelaku bisnis mencari terlebih dahulu Kerajaan-Nya dan segala Kebenaran-Nya. Urapan tersedia bagi mereka yang dengan mata melihat dan telinga mendengar panggilan jaman.

Sebagaimana halnya Raja Daud yang menerima urapan untuk menjadi raja, jauh sebelum dia menjadi Raja, yang keadaan pada saat urapan diberikan sama sekali tidak mungkin bagi Daud untuk menjadi Raja, demikianlah ICCC memanggil para pengusaha Kristen sebelum peristiwanya terjadi untuk mengalami kebebasan masuk ke dalam dimensi baru, dimana sasaran, strategi dan perencanaan bersama-sma diwujud-nyatakan sesuai dengan iman di dalam Kristus.

ICCC mencanangkan panggilan itu sejalan dengan rencana TUHAN bagi jaman ini sebagai kunci memperoleh berkat dan pertumbuhan dan agar dapat bangkit berkemenangan diatas gelombang ombak yang mengancam.

Panggilan ICCC: “Mereka akan menjadi milik kesayanganKu sendiri, firman TUHAN semesta Alam pada hari yang Kusiapkan. Aku akan mengasihi mereka sama seperti seseorang menyayangi anaknya yang melayani dia.

Maka kamu akan melihat kembali perbedaan antara orang benar dan orang fasik, antara orang yang beribadah kepada TUHAN dan orang yang tidak beribadah kepadaNya.” (Maleakhi 3: 17-18)

KEYAKINAN IMAN ICCC: 

Satu-satunya TUHAN pencipta segala sesuatu dalam kesatuan Trinitas: Bapa, Anak, dan Roh Kudus.



Keilahian TUHAN Yesus Kristus. Kelahiran-Nya dari rahim seorang Perawan. Karya penebusan dosa manusia melalui kematian-Nya diatas kayu salib. Kebangkitan-Nya. Hak otoriatas diri-Nya atas dunia dan Kedatangan-Nya yang kedua kali dalam Kuasa dan Kemuliaan-Nya.



Alkitab, sepenuhnya sebagai Firman TUHAN yang mem8berikan inspirasi dan berbagai peraturan bagi kehidupan yang dilandasi iman.



Keselamatan pribadi orang berdosa dan kebutuhannya untuk mengalami proses regenerasi melalui8 karya Roh Kudus dalam menuju menjadikannya sebagai manusia yang dikehendaki oleh TUHAN, seutuhnya.
