The Year 2026 Orphanage Bhakti Asih Home for Children with Multiple Disabilities

We met Shela, who is waiting for stomach surgery after the Eid al-Fitr holidays. We met Feli, Risa, and Stefanus Haryono, whose life is a testimony of God's faithfulness. Although he continues to face daily medical challenges, requiring fluid to be drained regularly, God has strengthened him. Today, he has grown into a mature young man who lovingly helps care for the other children at the home.

We also met Jovina, wearing a red shirt. Although she has a family, she was abandoned. Yet despite everything she has experienced, she remains gentle, kind, and full of warmth.

During our visit, we also noted the home's ongoing needs. The orphanage currently cares for approximately 45 children, supported by around 30 sisters and staff members who faithfully serve every day. Essential needs include food supplies, milk, daily necessities, and care packages.

Seeing the children's smiles was one of the greatest gifts from Heaven.

At times, I found myself holding back tears. Yet every smile, every handshake, every hug, and every gesture of love reminded me that these children are deeply precious in God's sight. Many communicate through sign language, hand gestures, or simple expressions of affection, and every interaction spoke volumes about God's unconditional love.

I felt the Holy Spirit reminding me of Jesus' command:

"Love your neighbor as yourself."

With special permission from the caregivers, I took photographs and selfies with the children because I believe every person deserves to be treated with the same dignity, love, and respect. We are all created in the image of God. No one is less valuable because of disability. Every life has immeasurable worth.

As I write these words, tears fill my eyes once again—not out of sadness alone, but because of the overwhelming love of God that I witnessed through these beautiful children and the faithful caregivers who serve them every day.

God is good. Orphanage Bhakti Asih is under Roma Vatican Catholic Pastoral umbrella with Paroki, Uskup, Romo and sisters taking care the children. Jesus is good.  Our Heavenly Father is good.

His love endures forever.

May God continue to bless every child, every caregiver, every sister, every volunteer, and every supporter of Orphanage Yayasan Panti Asuhan Cacat Ganda Bhakti Asih. May His peace, healing, provision, and everlasting love surround them always.

MBMF Foundation Supports Venezuela Earthquake Relief Through Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) 

The MBMF Foundation stands in solidarity with the people of Venezuela following one of the most devastating natural disasters in the country's modern history.

On 24 June 2026, two powerful earthquakes measuring Magnitude 7.2 and 7.5 struck within seconds of each other, with the epicenter near La Guaira, approximately 160 kilometers from Caracas, Venezuela's capital. The earthquakes caused widespread destruction across La Guaira, Caracas, and surrounding communities, collapsing homes, schools, hospitals, roads, and other critical infrastructure.

The earthquake has left thousands of families devastated across Venezuela. According to the latest reports, more than 3,800 people have lost their lives, approximately 16,700 have been injured, and nearly 18,000 have been displaced after losing their homes. Thousands of buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged, with economic losses estimated at US$10 billion. Survivors urgently need food, clean water, shelter, medical care, and humanitarian assistance as they begin the long process of recovery.

• Supporting Global Empowerment Mission (GEM)

• In response to this humanitarian crisis, Budi Margono, Founder of the MBMF Foundation, made a humanitarian donation through Global Empowerment Mission (GEM) and campaign to support emergency relief efforts in Venezuela.

• Global Empowerment Mission is working alongside local partners to deliver life-saving assistance, including food, clean water, hygiene supplies, shelter materials, medical support, and logistics for affected communities. GEM has committed an initial humanitarian response valued at US$50 million, followed by longer-term recovery initiatives focused on rebuilding homes, schools, and community infrastructure.

• MBMF Foundation believes that compassion knows no borders. During times of disaster, we are called to respond with generosity, hope, and practical love for those suffering.

Visiting and share love with children at Mount Merbabu.

MBMF Foundation Humanitarian Visit to SDN Boyolali & SDN Ringin Sari, Mount Merbabu – Central Java

By Budi Margono, ST, MBA
Chairman – MBMF Foundation

MBMF Foundation, led by Budi Margono, recently conducted a humanitarian and social outreach visit to SDN Boyolali and SDN Ringin Sari, located in the beautiful highland area of Mount Merbabu, Central Java, Indonesia.  (remote place)

This visit was a collaborative mission together with the JKI Holy Stadium Church team, united by a shared calling to serve, love, and uplift local communities—especially children and villagers in rural areas.

Serving with Love and Compassion

During the visit, the MBMF Foundation and church team distributed books, food supplies, and daily necessities to students and villagers. More than material support, the team spent meaningful time sharing stories, encouragement, and hope, creating moments of joy and connection with the children and families.

Laughter, smiles, and heartfelt conversations filled the day. The atmosphere reflected genuine fellowship—where giving and receiving blended into a shared human experience.

Education, Faith, and Community

Education remains a core focus of MBMF Foundation. By providing books and learning materials, the foundation aims to inspire children to dream, learn, and grow despite geographic and economic limitations.

Together with JKI Holy Stadium Church, the outreach emphasized:

• Compassion-driven service

• Faith in action

• Community empowerment

• Moral and spiritual encouragement
  
  

The presence of the church team strengthened the mission, reminding everyone that true impact is created when faith and action walk together.

Gratitude and Sponsorship

This outreach was made possible through the generosity of MBMF Foundation sponsors, church partners, and volunteers, whose support enabled the mission to reach remote areas around Mount Merbabu.

Budi Margono expressed deep gratitude to all partners who believe in using resources as a blessing for others.

“We believe that every child deserves education, hope, and love. Serving communities like SDN Boyolali and SDN Ringin Sari is not charity—it is our shared responsibility as humans and as people of faith.”
— Budi Margono

Looking Forward

MBMF Foundation remains committed to expanding its humanitarian programs across Indonesia and beyond—integrating education, faith, sustainability, and social impact to build a better future.

By God’s grace, this visit is one of many steps toward empowering communities, nurturing young minds, and spreading hope where it is needed most.

Sumatra Floods Relief Support

MBMF Foundation Supports Church & Community Relief Efforts for Sumatra Floods — December 2025

North Sumatra, Indonesia — December 2025 — MBMF Foundation extends its deepest condolences and solidarity to communities affected by the devastating floods and landslides across North Sumatra in December 2025. Prolonged extreme rainfall caused widespread flooding, resulting in more than 1,000 reported fatalities, large-scale displacement, and significant damage to homes and infrastructure.

Partnership-based humanitarian response

In response to the disaster, MBMF Foundation supports trusted local friends, church communities, and volunteer teams already present on the ground, strengthening ongoing relief efforts rather than deploying a separate field operation. This approach ensures timely, culturally sensitive, and effective assistance.

Churches as evacuation and relief centers

Across affected areas, local churches served as official and community-recognized evacuation points, opening their doors to displaced families regardless of background or belief.

With support from MBMF Foundation and local partners, posko (relief coordination posts) were supported at key locations:  Medan, Langsa, Aceh, Belawan

Local coordination was supported by Mr. Andi Prawira and community partners, who continue to serve affected communities with dedication.

Commitment to dignity, life, and collaboration

MBMF Foundation believes that local faith and community institutions play a vital role in disaster response, often becoming the first place of safety and hope during crisis. Supporting these institutions reflects our commitment to preserving life, dignity, and social cohesion.

We continue to pray for healing, strength, and restoration for all those affected by the floods in North Sumatra.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”
— Psalm 46:1
