This photo is taken from the roof of our fairly swanky hotel. Manado has lots of new development and wealthy houses side by side with poor, broken and destitute dwellings.
Lots of the rundown houses still have pretty good looking televisions, but not much else.In the city there are poor people rubbing shoulders with relatively wealthy business and commerce workers.

Manado is in East Indonesia on North Sulawesi. We don’t see sunsets over the water on the east coast of Australia.
After a visit into the local shops, we stuck around for the #beautiful #sunset. It was worth it. Then we saw an even better angle, which is the photo below, taken not long after the sun went down.
We enjoyed a delicious – and quite spicy – Indonesian dinner tonight.
More about the projects and Compassion’s work tomorrow…

We’ve arrived in Manado after a day of travel. Flying is still glamorous for me… good times. The highlight was the small rolled up hand towels they gave us to wipe our faces and some gangsta movie on the first flight.
I’m here with a team of 13 including @CompassionAU workers, ministers and others from churches in Sydney, Newcastle and Canberra.We will be visiting a bunch of the projects that Compassion are part of in the Manado area.The photo is somewhere in the air during flight 2.

ANGLICARE Sydney, along with Fervr, invite you to host a LIGHT UP THE STREET SLEEPOVER at your youth group on Friday 31 May 2013.
“We’re encouraging youth groups in Sydney to dedicate ONE night to LEARNING, THINKING and PRAYING about young Australians who are affected by homelessness. Hear real stories, learn about the major issues, discover how you can be a light in your community and pray together that God will help us to have compassion for these disadvantaged young people.”
