The Maestro

DSC03812 (Small)I don't know what to say about this, because it seemed that God has ordained everything to make this run smoothly. At least I had to admit this wasn't in my plan. Long before we set up a company, I had a couple of meetings with another architect to discuss about the drawing of the hospital and the orphanage. Well, I still could remember what kind of look the architect gave me when I explained him about this project. He was thinking that I was kidding, totally wasn't serious, having a stupid dream in the mid of the day!! Building a hospital in Wamena? Who's gonna think about that, at least among normal people? He just discovered that this project was almost impossible, but he didn't dare to say that we were a crazy couple. The idea itself was crazy, if you don't want to say it as ridiculous. The initial drawing that I made sounded very ambititious, a very big building on a limited land. We want to have a hospital and also an orphanage next to each other. The building would cost million dollars. Based on an economic principle, it was not a smart (or dumb?) to spend million dollars for thing that wasn't potential to return the investment. Imagine there's someone who is suddenly crazy enough doing a thing that common people would think ten times before, that's exactly he was having bussines with.

DSC03813 (Small)Well, I don't want to blame his doubt on us. It is indeed doubtable. But if we look back to the very reason why we were brave enough to start it, then our doubt will turn into a faith. A faith that would not go in vain. So we set the price for the drawing and we agreed to hire him. To be precise, we almost hired him. The problem at that time was we still haven't set up a company yet, and worse, our friend suddenly declined to join us (as I wrote before). Our pastor strongly advised us to build first a company before starting the project, so we could do everything in behalf of the company. By those reasons, for awhile the work of drawing must be held.

The next progress was amazing, if I am allowed to say, it was too unlikely to happen. Suddenly we had a great partnership with the family Kaisiepo, who is totally not in doubt had proven their commitment to God. They were so bold in believing that this project came from God, and God would do anything to make it happen. God would make the impassable into the passable. All we need is a heart to believe and a wilingness to work and walk according to His guidance. So after the company was set up, the work of drawing could be carried on again. It was a counsel from Mrs.Kaisiepo to hire an architect who also has a heart for God. He would be not merely doing the drawing for money, instead he sacrified his skill for the work of God. It is Mr.Vico Pawane, who is currently helping us with the drawing. He is doing the drawing with the passion, and he is also giving a contribution of faith to this project. He is very patient to serve us during the process of consultation and an agreement of the drawing. He is also taking care very well of my desire to have a Dutch style building.

Well, we are very proud to work together with Mr.Vico and his work is indeed an enormous one!! We would like to thank to Mr.Vico for his contribution and in helping to realize this huge vision.

God bless you and your family.

PT Rajawali Perkasa Medika Papua

Praise the Lord!! After a long time of prayer and purification, we finally could set up a company. This company names PT RAJAWALI PERKASA MEDIKA which means in English “the Mighty Eagle Medical Papua’’. PT stands for Perseroan Terbatas or a private limited company. The company is owned by Chosen One Ministries (represented by Noegi) and its partner Ms Reny Kaisiepo. COM holds major shares 60 percent and the rest 40 percent held by Reny. Noegi acts as a director while Reny sits as a commissaries. The name of the company differs than the early name we intended to have. Because of the regulation from the government that a company’s name should be in Indonesian, we could not name this company as Chosen Medicine Papua. So after a discussion with many who are involved, including Miriam and Mrs Kaisiepo who owned the Rajawali Perkasa Foundation (the Mighty Eagle Foundation), we agreed to name this company the Mighty Eagle Medical Papua. Because we as Chosen One Ministries want to work togethe...

A Personal Blog

Right Noegi is crazy of making a blog and a website. The birth of our son, Joshua, triggered this. Because our parents are living so far from us and they could not witness the birth of our first son, so we have an obligation to share the joy we have with them. After more than 3 weeks 'hard discussion' with PT Telkom (a telephone provider) that we really needed an internet connection in our house, then finally we got it. So we could send tons of Joshua's pictures to our parents and families. Because the internet connection by any reason (don't forget that we live in a third maybe a fifth world country!!) goes so slow, sometimes it takes hours just to send a single picture via email. So we thought it would be better if we just made a personal website for Joshua, so everybody could see our son via internet. We got this inspiration after we found out that our friend, Tamar, has also a website for her newborn baby. Even though it also took very long to upload files, but it...
