Malaysia & Indonesia 2024
The 2024 trip began on the coastal city of Kota Kinabalu—capital of Malaysia’s state of Sabah—performing and leading workshops at Sabah Theological Seminary (a long time partner of the Center). Leaving Malaysia, the team traveled to the island of Java (Indonesia) for three days in Jakarta before flying to Yogyakarta (also on Java) for the final three days of workshops and concerts.
