Commissioner Jennifer Walker, Territorial President of Women’s Ministries, Indonesia
This year Peter and I have been saddened when we have visited some divisions to see the state of the quarters that some of our officers have to live in – especially in the very remote areas of Sulawesi.
Some have no windows, ceilings or doors; others have gaping holes in the walls and dirt floors. 
We believe these homes have a detrimental effect on the health and well-being of the officers and their families.
It has been a highlight for us this year to be able to allocate the bulk of our 2017 Mission Support Funding from International Headquarters towards a project to upgrade 25-30 quarters.
Also, the USA Southern Territory is very generously going to give us US$100,000 towards the project.
Each home will cost approximately US$10,000 and will be constructed with four solid concrete walls, windows and doors, a roof and a cement and tiled floor.
The homes will not have permanent electricity or plumbing as they are too remote for these amenities. However, they will go a long way to protect the officers and their families from the elements and disease-bearing mosquitoes.
