A Brief History of Jalan Suci (The Holy Way in Indonesia)
Jalan Suci Papua (The Holy Way, Indonesia) has a long
heritage that can be traced back to the very beginnings of
the Charismatic movement in the late 1960's. In early 1970's the
apostolic ministry of Fr. Edwin Stube from the USA came to West
Papua through the apostolic ministry teams sent from Lawang Bible
Training Center – East Java.
A Short History. The first team in 1972 comprised Mr. Adi
Sutopo, Mr. Timotius Wiryanto, Mr. Saroba Pangaribuan and Miss
Henny. The man who welcomed the team was Mr. Mulyawan Sindutomo
and his house became central to the team and the Charismatic
Movement in Abepura – Jayapura. After several months of Bible
training and discipleship in this house, the first young native
Papuan people went to many places, cities, and villages to bring
the Good News. Those young native people were: Bro. Dolfinus
Solossa, Bro. Andreas Athabu, Bro. Julianus Solossa, Bro. Vecky
Tumbelaka, Tris Aronggear, Elvis Gunto, and Yan Agaki.
The second apostolic team that visited in 1974 was Mr.
Kornelius Darto and Alfonso Tumeon. They came to Jayapura – the
capital of West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya) province and went to
several villages around Sarmi district in a team with Mr. Rubben
Wehauw, Obed Belly, Dolfinus Solossa, Andreas Athabu as the local
apostolic team. The third apostolic team in 1975 was Timotius,
Adul Rohim, and Philipus Sukamto. In 1976, Ester Sitorus moved
from Lawang to Jayapura to work with Philipus Sukamto, but she
suffered from Malaria fever and died in April 1977. As result of
these apostolic team ministries from Lawang, thousands have
received the Lord Jesus as their personal savior and many have
experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The apostolic Ministry of Fr. Edwin Stube and his young
Indonesian co-workers has brought forth a great transformation
throughout Indonesia, especially in the island of Papua.
This work continues to be effective to this day. As we "run
the race set before us" we ask that you would join us in prayer
for God's continued blessing.

"A highway shall be there and it shall be called the Holy
Way" Isaiah 35:8
Christian life and ministry never rises above the
level of our worship. Spiritual life and ministry begins, and is
carried out in the presence of God.
Jalan Suci is dedicated to worship in the Holy of
Holies. This invariably leads to powerful ministry in the Spirit.
Jalan Suci encourages people to gather around Jesus
like His first set of disciples, enjoying His fellowship, learning
His ways, being a part of the mighty move of God that is happening
worldwide in preparation for His coming. We worship in the Spirit
with the gifts of the Spirit. Often we meet God in the silence of
eternity; other times we join with the high praises of the angels
around His throne. We allow Jesus to disciple us. He leads us out
into a variety of ministry where we see what He is doing and learn
to take part.
For those that have heard God’s call to life, training, and
ministry with us, we would like to present some helpful guidelines
that express the beat of our heart and purpose for out being.
Jesus chose another way to teach his followers. The Holy Way
was built on the search to understand this other way, and this
Training Center is part of that result. So what method did Jesus
use?
Jesus collected a little group and started moving. They saw His
miracles and His way of approaching all sorts of people. They
observed His teaching to the crowds, His silencing of the Pharisees,
His loving ministry of help to the sick and to repentant sinners.
Jesus' training of the disciples could not be separated from His
fellowship with them. They ate and slept and worked together. The
disciples learned by associating with Him, experiencing His love,
observing His life-style and ministry', sharing in the secrets of
His heart. This was theology understood through truth and
relationship.
After Pentecost, the apostles must have applied these same methods
to the training of new converts in Jerusalem as the people
"continued steadfastly in the apostles' teaching and fellowship, the
breaking of bread, and prayers." Paul used the same method for
training Timothy, Titus, Luke, and the others who travelled with
Him.
This method of training is:
1. Non-formal. Jesus never scheduled a class or
drew up a curriculum. He lived a life with His disciples. They
learned on-the-job (3 years of purpose driven learning where the
direct understanding and application [i.e. “the authority”] of what
they learnt was a major goal).
2. Fellowship-based. In regard to Jesus' training
of His disciples, the training cannot be divorced from fellowship.
The training method was the fellowship (The close fellowship teaches
us humility and how live for the Kingdom, not our own ideas).
3. Learning by doing. Jesus plunged His disciples
immediately into the experience of the ministry. Then as they had
time, they sat down and talked over what they had experienced.
Theory was never divorced from practice. The Christian life and
ministry is something we do, not just take notes on.
4. Living in the Spirit. Jesus' ministry was
carried on in the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is
therefore a supernatural ministry. He said: "I do not say my own
words, but those of Him who sent me. The works I do are not mine but
His." On His Ascension Day Jesus said: "Wait until you receive power
from on high ... and you shall be My witness." As His disciples we
need to learn to live and minister in the Spirit.
Our objective is to adapt and apply these principles in every
possible cultural setting, on the theory that Jesus' methods were
deliberately chosen and therefore can be most effective. The Holy
Way Mission has applied these principles in several very different
cultural settings in Indonesia for more than 40 years with
outstanding results (Therefore there is no reason why they should
not work equally well in other cultures. I also note that they were
very successful in the middle-east some 2,000 years ago, so not much
has changed).
This training is aimed at preparing people for New Testament type
ministry. We are training apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors,
teachers, etc. (Ephesians 4:11-16, 1 Corinthians 12:28).
It was never God's intention that the ministry should be totally in
the hands of a few professional clergy. The Body is not one member,
but many (1 Corinthians 12:12-13). It is built up and matures
through the working together of all the members (Ephesians 4:11-16).
Therefore, we believe that we need to be training lay members of
churches for their proper function in the Body of Christ. New
Testament ministries will be trained by New Testament methods.
Such a training program might take this form:
1. A community. A small group of people will be
living together in some kind of community relationship, praying,
studying, and working together.
2. Priorities. First priority would be personal
devotional life; second, worship together in Spirit; third, learning
to hear and obey the Lord's voice; fourth, Bible study and fifth,
ministry.
3. Bible centered. The patterns of life and
ministry will be learned by examining in detail the biblical records
and immediately putting them into practice.
4. Practical. Every effort will be made to
duplicate the radical effectiveness of supernatural New Testament
type ministry, realizing that this is going to require some radical
adjustment in our own personal lives, our view point, our ways of
doing things, our priorities. In short the Cross will be applied to
our personal and corporate lives, so that the Resurrection power of
Jesus may be made manifest in the ministry.

An Early Training Vision (8 page Vision/ Concept from 1971)
In 1968, The Holy Way began its ministry of the
written word with the magazine, API MENYALA ("A Blazing Fire" -
started by Gwan An). The circulation grew to more than 7,000 and
was mailed to all the principal islands of Indonesia. It was read,
passed around, and found its way to places we could not go,
providing people in remote areas with deeper Christian teaching.
The book ministry began in the early 1970's. The aim was
and still is to stress unity, evangelism, the work of the Spirit,
sanctification, New Testament order, and generally encourage
Christian maturity and teaching for all believers.
