We have known Pastor James for more than 10 years and whenever we are in Medan, will attempt to go and visit the church and meet Pastor James, if he is available. Once I saw him bless a car. He always spent time to speak to the public and we are comforted by him. We go to lick a candle after prayer and also to collect some bottles of holy water for blessing and bring back to Singapore. We will write a petition to ask for blessing and help in our daily life. Please feel free to come and view the historical gallery and buy some sovenirs for remembrance.

During our CSR program on Nias Island, we took time to see the jumping stone attraction directly and learning the story of Nias people. A lifetime experience that can’t be missed.

We had the most humbling experience when we visited and was one of our highlights for Medan and Indonesia. We learnt about Buddhism and will treasure this memory. The palace is grand and impressive without being ostentatious. Also the fortunate cafe serves all vegan food which is amazing the home made bread, tempeh and hot soup were amazing. Don't forget to try the vegan ice cream. All round one of favourite experiences. Please go if you have the chance and don't forget to donate.

Bukit Holbung is a hill covered by grasses, south of Pangururan town at the mainland side. In addition to its location and elevation, it is one of the best places to view geological feature of Lake Toba around Pangururan, which features rolling hills and mountains with lush grasslands and sparse trees, and green bushes found at lower elevation nearer to the lake surface. Its elevation is just nice to view the lake water without too much of reflection on the water surface. The trail is clear and straightforward, and goes through many levels of increasing altitude. A short 15 min walk is required to reach a height with magnificent view. To the north, a bay with rolling hills and Pusuk Buhit Mountain can be seen while to the south is Sihotang Valley and the surrounding rolling mountains. More serious hikers can climb all the way to the top, which takes around an hour. Nature lovers would find the view here to be grandiose and exceedingly beautiful.
