"A highway shall be there and it shall be called the Holy Way"
Isaiah
35:8
The Holy Way has a long heritage that can be traced back to the very beginnings of the Charismatic movement of the late 1950s. These sites are dedicated to that heritage.
The Rev. Edwin Stube was an early Charismatic movement leader. He recognized a need for training, where all Christians are empowered for worship and evangelism - not just the leaders. The first Bible Training Centre was established in Lawang, East Java, Indonesia, it opened in 1971, providing a non-formal approach, to training young people for ministry. The program provided new students with grounding in the fundamentals of the Bible, experience of evangelism; and the reality of life and ministry in the Body of Christ.
U
nlike religious leaders of the time, Jesus never scheduled classes. He gathered a small group of young men. He said, "Follow Me." They saw His miracles, and His way of approaching all sorts of people. They observed His teaching to the crowds, His silencing of the Pharisees, His loving ministry of help to the sick and to repentant sinners.S
ounds like a simple approach? It is hard to achieve.The Holy Way Evangelical Church (Gereja Pekabarn Injil “Jalan Suci”), is now a large church organization that has been recognised by the Indonesian Government.
The Rev Edwin Stube and others conducted some Indonesian campaigns in 1963. A (USA) support group was established in 1964, but the main history of The Holy Way in Indonesia began in February 1965, when the Rev. Edwin Stube and family arrived in Semarang (Central Java). In June of 1966 the Stube family all moved to Nongkodjadjar, a small village in the mountains of East Java. Here the Holy Spirit was gloriously poured out, and received by a number of young people.
Almost immediately these young people were sent out to to share what they had received. They went to the Celebes and encountered all sorts of experiences. They dug into the Bible to find answers to their questions and direction for the future.

In 1976, the Stube's left the “Jalan Suci” in the hands of their young Indonesians. Over these decades, Apostolic ministry teams have been sent to many parts of Indonesia and beyond. Many Training Centres and Worship Centres have been established.

In 1972 the first team travelled through West Papua (formerly Irian Jaya) and established a centre in Abepura – Jayapura. A small number of people gathered, these young Papuans went to many cities, and villages to bring the Good News. Those young native people were: Dolfinus Solossa, Andreas Athabu, Julianus Solossa, Vecky Tumbelaka, Tris Aronggear, Elvis Gunto, and Yan Agaki.
A
second apostolic team visited Jayapura in 1974, and went to several villages around the Sarmi district. The third apostolic team arrived in 1975. As result of these apostolic team ministries from Lawang, thousands have received the Lord Jesus as their personal saviour and many have experienced the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.Jalansucipapua.com
