When Forty Years Led Me Home

A testimony of grace after forty years of wandering

After forty years of wandering, Jesus turned a restless story into a homecoming of grace.

My name is Assdhy Lolowang, and I was born in a small town by the shore called Fakfak, Indonesia.

Growing up, I never truly knew what home meant. Every three years, my family moved — sometimes to a different neighborhood, sometimes to a different country. By the time I started to settle, pack-up time came again.

I never had what many people treasure: a childhood friend from the same street, the same school, the same church. My constants were my siblings, my parents, and a name that was spoken over me from the beginning: Jesus.
