I Am An Author Who You Known, I am Christian

"Take up the cross and follow me" Matthew 16: 24

If you are a loyal reader who has been reading since the first writing published in January 2020, I would like to announce that I have a fact that really needed to announce. Look at a title, that says I am Christian. Yep, I am Christian and am a follower of Christ. I have prepared some questions might you want to ask

  • When was getting baptized?

In December 2019 at GKI Gejayan, Yogyakarta. My baptized name is Malachi Raka.

  • Where is the church usually you worship?

English Worship, Yogyakarta.

  • Why did you convert to Christianity?

It’s a long story but that came to me who had been fighting for the truth and what makes me feel comfortable and to grow up who am myself. I converted because it’s my decision not because of a girlfriend, I do not have a girlfriend and am still single. After spending two years, I ended up finding Jesus Christ through coming to the church and started tearing up while listening to Christian songs. I really love praising and singing Christian songs. I really wanted to be a Christian and it happened in Dec 2019. And, now, I am a Christian and proud of who am I. I want to live with Him for the rest of my life until death. Life and death only for Jesus Christ.

  • Why did you decide to follow Jesus Christ?

Since joining English Worship, I got called by Lord. He wanted me to be a good Christian and create what looks like Jesus Christ to love what I hate, forgiveness, kindness, respect, and faithful. I was a high porn addict and had problems, like depression, loneliness, and always being angry at what happened and something I disliked.  By following Jesus Christ, I gave my entire body to Him and He came into my body through the Holy Spirit. I really want to live in a godly Christ and what He wants for me. I will never be worried about my future because He has prepared beautiful things for me and He loves me as well as He loves you.

  • How about your old religion?

I never hate Muslims. In John 13: 34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I love you, so you must love one another.” I love you, my parents, enemies, friends, community, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, and everyone needed to be loved.

I think that’s enough for responding to five questions. I’m going to respect you because I still love you and pray for you. I am a Christian and a follower of Jesus Christ, that’s my decision, and will never regret. I'm going to apologize if you are probably going to be angry or disappointed with my decision. I still care about you because I love you.

Thank you for reading.

I'm a Retired Deaf Activist

I was born to a Deaf person in the middle of a hearing family who does not know sign language and grew up in different ways, neither in the Deaf world nor the hearing world. I studied at a Deaf school using a read-lips method and a mainstream school. So, I'm also a former mainstreamed school alumnus. What was the experience I have become a Deaf person? It was a thrilling journey. Living in an unfriendly country always be challenging. I sometimes was asked why was I born like that and why was I stuck at this family who doesn't know sign language. It felt unfair, though.  I had been an activist since June 2016 and joined Gerkatin (Gerakan untuk Kesejahteraan Tuli untuk Indonesia) which is a Deaf organization. I worked lots-- such as an interpreter, sign language teacher, public speaker, event committee, coordinator, and lead the group, etc-- and had experienced lots, which downs and ups. It was mixed feelings. Being an activist that what you see it looks fun and cool but either t...

Terjemahan: Apa yang Anda Pikirkan Tentang Deaf Power?

Deaf Power mempromosikan sejarah, bahasa, dan nilai-nilai komunitas Tuli di seluruh dunia. Sebagai kedua bahasa dan simbol, itu akan menyebarkan kebanggaan budaya kami . (Sumber: www.deafpower.me oleh Christine Sun Kim dan Ravi Vasavan). Mengapa saya menulis Deaf Power di blog saya? Saya seorang Tuli dan pengguna bahasa isyarat, saya memiliki banyak pengalaman dan momen tentang identitas Tuli. Menjadi identitas Tuli, saya menghadapi diskriminasi dan rasisme di semua lingkungan dan komunitas. Saya menjadi orang Tuli sejak umur 5 hari setelah kelahiran. Hal pertama adalah pengobatan dan terapi pendegaran. Dokter dan orangtua menginginkan kekurangan saya menjadi orang dengar. Jadi, saya menghabiskan masa kecil saya dengan pengobatan dan pergi ke rumah sakit. Saya hanya sedikit mendapatkan pendidikan dari ibu saya atau keluarga saya. Saya tidak tahu siapa mengajarkan saya seperti itu. Kehidpan pertamaku adalah sangat sedikit kata-kata yang saya didapatkan dalam hidup saya. Saya ...
