JAKARTA - Assistant General Overseer Mark Williams participated in the dedication ceremony of the new 10,000-seat Rose of Sharon church in Indonesia.
The church is pastored by Jacob Nahuway, who also serves as national overseer of Gereja Bethel Indonesia, the amalgamated ministry partner which constitutes the Church of God in Indonesia. Construction of the new church increased the capacity of the facility by five-fold, from 2,000 to 10,000.

Williams will be speaking for Niko Njorthardjo, pastor of one of the largest churches in the Church of God in Indonesia.
