IFGF Semarang – A House for the Lord
April 2018 (Month of Ziv)
We give all glory to God as IFGF Semarang rose in faith to build a House for the Lord. From the first sketches to the foundation, every step has been a testimony of God’s faithfulness and grace. 🙌
We thank God for the temporary building that served us in the beginning, and we praise Him for the revamped building that is now being established—not by might nor by power, but by His Spirit. 🕊️
The Word of God reminds us:
Ezra 1:5
Then the family heads of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests and Levites—everyone whose heart God had moved—prepared to go up and build the house of the Lord in Jerusalem.
Ezra 3:10
When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the Lord, the priests in their vestments and with trumpets, and the Levites (sons of Asaph) with cymbals, took their places to praise the Lord, as prescribed by David king of Israel.
2 Chronicles 36:23
“This is what Cyrus king of Persia says: ‘The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and He has appointed me to build a temple for Him at Jerusalem in Judah. Any of His people among you may go up, and may the Lord their God be with them.’”
2 Chronicles 2:4
“Now I am about to build a temple for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for setting out the consecrated bread regularly, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths, at the New Moons, and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.”
We humbly recognize: it is only by God’s power and grace that this is possible.
We are undeserving, but God is worthy of all the glory. ✨
Together, We Move Forward
United in Prayer. Empowered by Grace. Trusting in Jesus.
May the Lord send His blessings and bring every part of this work to completion in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
The completion of the IFGF Semarang church building is not the end—it is the beginning. A place to raise disciples, restore hope, and send out people to transform society. Every brick tells a story of faith, every wall resounds with worship, and every life touched will echo into eternity.
“My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” – Isaiah 56:7 (NIV)
With grateful hearts, we dedicate this house to the Lord—past, present, and future.
Soli Deo Gloria – To God Alone Be the Glory.
✨ Dedication of IFGF Kompol Maksum – 24 February 2019 ✨
"A Place Called Home – People is Our Mission"
We give thanks and praise to Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for His unfailing love and promises. Truly, God’s Word is true—He can do all great things beyond what we ask or imagine. 🙌
On 24 February 2019, we joyfully celebrated the Dedication of IFGF Kompol Maksum Church Building in Semarang—a sacred milestone in our journey of faith. What began as a vision has become a reality, through God’s grace and the unity of His people.
💒 Total Project Cost: USD $550,000
🙏 Thank you to every donor, every prayer warrior, and above all, to our Lord Jesus Christ who made this possible!
With grateful hearts, Ps. Jimmy Oentoro, Ps. Budi Hidayat, and the entire congregation stood together to dedicate this house of worship to God—a place we now call home.
This is not just a building, but a beacon of hope, where people are our mission.
A place to build lives, empower hearts, and welcome all with the love of Christ. ❤️
To God be all the glory, now and forever. Amen.
We continue the mission. We move forward by faith.
Because with God, all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)
A Marketplace Miracle – City Harvest Church & Suntec Convention Center (2009–2015)
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.” – Psalm 136:1
From 2009 to 2015, by God’s amazing grace, City Harvest Church (CHC) witnessed the fulfillment of a God-given dream.
God opened the way for CHC to acquire a 39% equity stake in Suntec Convention Center, with a value exceeding SGD 315 million. What once seemed impossible became a reality—a church planted in the heart of the marketplace, just as God had spoken to Ps. Kong Hee.
Through stadiums and temporary places of worship, God continued to lead, until finally, He opened the door to co-own a building in the center of Singapore—a strategic location to reach people and glorify His name.
This was not just about property—it was about purpose.
A vision for the church to penetrate the marketplace, to be a light in the city, and to impact lives at every level of society.
With God’s provision, CHC was able to:
Secure its stake in Suntec Convention Center
Cover rental costs
Use and rent the venue for ministry
Serve across TV media ministries
Faithfully move and setup equipment for every service
Every step, every sacrifice, was a testimony of God’s blessing and faithfulness.
Even disabled members of the church joined in fundraising—drawing and selling artwork to help build God’s house.
That deeply touched our hearts. 💖
Truly, this was God's dream, not man’s plan.
He stirred hearts, united hands, and made a way where there seemed to be no way.
All glory to God!
We praise Him, for His love endures forever, and we testify:
“What is impossible with man is possible with God.” – Luke 18:27

City Harvest Church: A Lighthouse in the Heart of Singapore
📍 Suntec City, Singapore
⛪ Led by Pastor Kong Hee
🎥 Multimedia Ministry | Prayer | Faith in Every Season
In the heart of Singapore’s vibrant Suntec City stands a spiritual landmark: City Harvest Church (CHC). Founded by Pastor Kong Hee, CHC is not just a church—it is a movement of faith, media, and mission.
From humble beginnings to a congregation of tens of thousands, this church has been a beacon of light and hope in the city and beyond. Through every trial and triumph, God’s faithfulness has never failed.
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1
“I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.” – Matthew 16:18
Raising a church in the center of Singapore was never easy—but through the sacrificial giving and relentless prayer of the congregation, the impossible became reality. The CHC Building Fund united thousands of believers in one mission: to build a house worthy of God’s presence.
“They gave according to their ability, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded… for the privilege of sharing.” – 2 Corinthians 8:3–4
City Harvest Church now stands as a testimony of what God can do when faith meets unity.
CHC has walked through seasons of both testing and breakthrough. Yet through it all, the church has remained anchored in Christ, committed to prayer, revival, and the building up of the next generation.
“Though the vision tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not delay.” – Habakkuk 2:3
“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy.” – Psalm 126:5
“The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,” says the Lord Almighty. “And in this place I will grant peace.” – Haggai 2:9
GBT Alpha Omega Church – A Family’s Offering for God’s Glory
"Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain." – Psalm 127:1
Under the leadership of Pdt. Timotius Subekti, Gereja Bethel Tabernakel (GBT) Alpha Omega was built through prayer, unity, and the unwavering faith of God's people. Together with the congregation, we witnessed how God led every step of the journey.
As a family, we were blessed to take part in this sacred mission.
Mrs. Tabita Sajekti, my beloved mother, prayed faithfully every morning at 5 AM at the GBT Alpha Omega Church in Puri Anjasmoro. Her heart was fully dedicated to God’s house—actively supporting the building fund (dana pembangunan) and giving her best for the Lord.
Through Budi Foundation, I was honored to represent our family in supporting the construction alongside the church and congregation, united in purpose, building for God's Kingdom.
🏫 The Secondary School is located next to GBT Alpha Omega Church in Puri Anjasmoro, while the High School was established in Semarang Indah—a legacy of faith and education, made possible by God’s grace and our family's dedication to His work.
This project was especially meaningful—it was my mother’s building fund, her offering to the Lord. We stood together as one family, giving for God’s glory.
✨ The project was completed in June 2018, and the Opening Ceremony was held on 28 June 2018.
We give thanks to God who made it all possible.
To God be all the glory. He is good, and His love endures forever.
It is finished – all by His grace, all for His name. Amen.

Budi Foundation – Supporting the Holy Land with Pro Terra Sancta
"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure.'" – Psalm 122:6
By God’s grace, Budi Foundation is humbled and honored to join hands with Pro Terra Sancta, the Franciscan organization dedicated to preserving the Holy Land.
Through this partnership, we have supported:
The renovation of the Tomb of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem
The creation of the museum project at the Holy Sepulchre
Support for orphans and families in need
The preservation of churches, cathedrals, and sacred pilgrimage sites across the Holy Land
In 2016, we were in awe as God allowed a historic moment to unfold—the renovation of the Tomb of Christ, a sacred site that had remained unopened since 1555.
And in 2017, the Jubilee Year, commemorating 500 years since the Protestant Reformation by Martin Luther, God moved in a magnificent way—uniting believers across traditions to honor the place of Jesus’ burial and resurrection.
We give all thanks and praise to Father God, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for this divine opportunity. His grace and love endure forever.
🙏 We continue to pray for the peace of Jerusalem – Shalom – and for God's light to shine from the Holy Land to the nations.

JERUSALEM for the first time in centuries, scientists have exposed the original surface of what is traditionally considered the tomb of Jesus Christ. Located in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Old City of Jerusalem, the tomb has been covered by marble cladding since at least 1555 A.D., and most likely centuries earlier.
GIA Elshaddai Long Beach – A Dream Built on Christ (2008–2010)
*"With God all things are possible." – Matthew 19:26
"Consequently, you are... members of His household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone." – Ephesians 2:19–20
"The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods." – 2 Chronicles 2:5 (Solomon)
We give all honor and praise to Father God, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, who guided us with His grace and opened doors that no one could shut.
In 2008, through divine favor, GIA Elshaddai Long Beach received a miraculous blessing—the ability to purchase land and establish a permanent church building. For many years, we worshiped in rented spaces, but God made a way for us to plant a lasting foundation—a house of prayer, fellowship, and spiritual growth.
This was the vision in the hearts of Pst. Doddy and Aunt Ci Aurelia—to create a church that feels like home, where people could grow in faith and community.
By God's grace, everyone united:
Budi felt honored to clean, fix the roof, and serve wherever needed
Tante Lily, Tante Lydia, Om Thomas, Om Muliadi, Tony, Sandy, and the entire congregation joyfully contributed—each person building with love and sacrifice
Together, we saw God's promises come to life
From 2008 to 2010, what started as a dream became a testimony. It wasn’t just a building—it was the manifestation of God’s faithfulness, and a beacon of hope for many.
Just as Solomon declared when building the temple:
"The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods." – 2 Chronicles 2:5
So we too declare—this house is built for the glory of the One true God.
We give thanks to the Lord—He is good, and His love endures forever.
To God be all the glory, now and forever. Amen.
2003–2005: God's Glory in the Building of Holy Stadium & Radio Rhema
“Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.” – Psalm 127:1
“They will proclaim My glory among the nations.” – Isaiah 66:19
We give thanks and praise to Father God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit—for what began as a dream became a divine reality.
Between 2003 and 2005, we witnessed God move mightily in Semarang, as He stirred His servants to build Radio Rhema and the majestic Holy Stadium. A vision of revival was birthed through the obedience of Ps. Petrus Agung and Ps. Yusak Tjipto, who ministered humbly through the airwaves of Radio Rhema. Ps. Yusak often called himself “God’s dog”—faithfully obeying his Master’s voice. But to many, he was a mighty servant of the Lord.
Ps. John Avanzini also sowed financially into the early stages of the Radio Rhema building and the larger vision—Holy Stadium, a place of worship that would seat 12,000 souls. It became one of the most iconic places of worship in Semarang, built for God's glory.
“The temple I am going to build will be great, because our God is greater than all other gods.” – 2 Chronicles 2:5
“Then Solomon began to build the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah... the place that David had provided.” – 2 Chronicles 3:1
There’s a beautiful memory we cherish—when Budi began working at PT Kencana, he purchased welding equipment from the church. Those tools had been donated by a church member to raise funds for the building project. With the help of Renny, this equipment became part of Kencana's first workshop tools. We were building not only a business, but a legacy connected to God’s house.
Together with faithful supporters like Ko Hindarto, Renny, Ko Duddy, Pak Himawan, Maya, Susan, and many others, we supported the church through every means possible. Everyone played their part—united by one purpose: to glorify God.
As the Holy Stadium rose from the ground, it carried the faith and sacrifice of a generation. We were overwhelmed with joy when it was finished—a place where worship echoes, where nations gather, and where the Gospel is preached boldly.
“I have indeed built a magnificent temple for You, a place for You to dwell forever.” – 1 Kings 8:13
We continue to pray that Holy Stadium remains a beacon of light, revival, and truth. May its walls resound with praise, and may every heart that enters be touched by Jesus.
All of this is for God’s glory alone—His faithfulness endures forever!
2000: Youth Revival at GIA Pringgading – A House for the Next Generation
“Remember your Creator in the days of your youth…” – Ecclesiastes 12:1
“And everyone who was willing and whose heart moved him came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work…” – Exodus 35:21
In the year 2000, by God’s amazing grace, a dream came true for the youth of GIA Pringgading Church. The church built a dedicated youth center, located near the main church building—designed to empower the ministry of RBK (Remaja Bagi Kristus – Teens for Christ) and PBK (Pemuda Bagi Kristus – Youth for Christ).
This was no ordinary project. The building was a significant investment in the Kingdom, costing over 4 billion rupiah (around USD 500,000). It featured a large 2-floor hall with a capacity of 1,500–2,000 people, complete with office facilities to support the ministry.
At the time, I was still a youth—Budi Margono, studying in high school and university, already serving God since I was five years old through Sunday School (KAA) at GIA Pringgading. I was saved as a child, and RBK became a second home where we grew in faith, worship, and friendship.
There was tremendous excitement when we first heard that the new youth building was coming. Before this, our services were held in the 4th floor hall or the main sanctuary, but now we had a space of our own. A place where we could shout for joy, sing freely, and gather with fellow teens and young adults without disrupting other services.
The youth ministry was led faithfully by Pastor Lukas Budijana, and our beloved shepherd, Pastor Indrawan, supported and guided us through this special season. We prayed fervently, gave what we could as students, and watched in awe as God moved hearts and provided every need to complete the project.
“The glory of this latter house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts; and in this place I will grant peace.” – Haggai 2:9
By God’s perfect timing, the building was completed and dedicated, and every Sunday at 3 PM, RBK gathered with joy to worship Jesus. I joined with the congregation in prayer, fundraising, and sharing the vision—believing that God would provide, and He surely did.
It was a season of revival, unity, and bold praise. We give all the glory to Jesus Christ—our faithful God who builds not just buildings, but hearts and destinies for His Kingdom.
To Him be the glory, forever and ever. Amen!
It's Budi dream to build house of God and always be in God's heart forever. Help God raising fund to build church and together we build the best for God
Budi loves God and Budi is God's beloved son in Jesus Christ, Budi also watch over many overseas project (Church temple Solomon Brazil) , raising fund, support building of God's house.
in future there will be greater project and more to come, and all is by God's grace His love endures forever.
By God's wisdom, wealth and blessings we keep building for His glory. Halleluyah amen
