Rehoboth Church of the Nazarene in Wonreli on Kisar Island, Indonesia, was officially organized on 2 August 2026, under the leadership of Nusa Tenggara & Maluku District Superintendent Juni Kristian Telambanu. Established in 2010, the church now has 64 members and is led by Rosalina Ratusehaka.
The series of ministry activities held on Kisar Island provided deeply strengthening equipping sessions. The organization process began with a special meeting with Pastor Ratusehaka and her husband, which served as an opportunity to equip those in pastoral leadership roles and to sharpen the church’s future vision and mission.
Training continued for the local church board members during a two-hour afternoon session focused on understanding the board’s role and the technical preparations for the church’s official organization. Subsequently, the entire congregation gathered for a two-hour discipleship training session to deepen the foundations of faith and commitment to following Christ.
Intensive two-hour equipping sessions were also provided for the local Nazarene Discipleship International (NDI), Nazarene Missions International (NMI), and Nazarene Youth International (NYI) ministry departments to solidify their ministry functions.
The highlight of the event was the Sunday service, which included the official organization ceremony of Rehoboth Church of the Nazarene. The jubilation continued into the evening with a revival service that ignited the congregation’s spiritual fervor.
“The congregation is delighted and highly enthusiastic about the new things they have witnessed—from the training sessions to the church organization,” Ratushehaka said. “We are deeply blessed; this has provided fresh insight for both the congregation and the church board regarding their respective duties and responsibilities in light of their talents. We are also committed to starting a discipleship class for young adults, youth, and kids, and we are beginning to offer discipleship classes.”
The organization of Rehoboth marks a new milestone in the congregation’s journey of faith. With renewed spirit, a clear vision, and hearts ready to serve, may Rehoboth Church of The Nazarene continue to grow and be a blessing to Wonreli, Kisar Island, the Nusa Tenggara and Maluku District, and to the ends of the earth.
