THE WORLD NEEDS A SMILE
The world is in crisis. It's hard to find real happiness everywhere. People used to try to find the happiness with all they can.They visit all entertainment place, go to mall - among the crowd, but they still can't find the real happiness. what is happiness ? is there real happiness in this wounded and lonely world ? many people doubt and think that there is no real happiness in life. Happiness is just a day dream of human being. Happiness is just a thinking, a hope that brings to nothing. Is there real happiness ? When I serve as a counselor, I found so many sadness and pesimism when my counselee talked about happiness. A young man (26 years olds), who've tried to kill himself about 3 times, said , "I don't believe that happiness is really exist". There are too much pains and suffers, World without hope.
These facts made me so sad. I got so many Joy when I walk my life with Jesus, my savior. But I know there are so many people that never experience the life I'm living on.
Year 2005, when the Earthquake stumbled down Yogyakarta (Indonesia), I decided to help as a voluntary worker for the children. With many people, that came from many cities of Indonesia, gathered our works to help the traumatized children. We did so many things. They felt better after our service. But I still tried to find, what method was the best one... We tried with dolls, with Panggung boneka (puppet show). It worked at the time. Many children started to smiled. After 10 days worked as voluntaree, I went home to Surabaya. I was thinking so hard, that I should find more efective ways to share joys to others. Then I met couple old friends. They invited me to come to their Children Movers' Conference. The conference led me to a new perspective of sharing joy to others..... CLOWN things.... WOW... God moved my heart to started this service... BEING A CLOWN... never thought it before....
I started my clown training at 2006. I started with balooning. Then 2007 I learned about clowning. 2008, some Christian magicians taught me with their magic trics for Christ. I am still amaze to understand how God prepare me so bountiful and beautiful to share the love through clowning. 2010 is my second years to be a clown. I went to Aceh, Medan, Pare village, Padang, and so on to show and proof that .... THERE IS STILL HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD.... It's the happiness in God. I call it JOYFUL HEART....
This is my mission, to help others to find the real happiness... help them to smile and laugh... even in tough time of life.... Would you pray and support me ??? SHARE JOY TO MANY TODAY....
In love with the SOURCE OF JOY,
