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.

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.

We Are First and Biggest Airport Train Services in Indonesia. We provide a smart chocice and convinient tarnsport to the City trough Exclusive Railway
Reviewed By HenryHeinz - Medan, Indonesia
Very convenient, hassle-free way to get from central Medan to KNO. Note that there is a new train schedule (as of maybe Nov 2019). With the recently opened elevated train line through downtown Medan, it now takes approx. 30 minutes to get to/from downtown and KNO. There are no stops for traffic, etc now. Booking tickets at the station is easy, but note that this must be done with a card (or other means) - they don't accept cash payments for tickets.
