Meeting with Pak Lipius & Pak Nunu

Me, Pak Lipius, and Pak Nunu.
We met to talk about ministry and eat some authentic Papuan food. Pak Lipius is the head of GIDI (National church of Indonesia). Pak Nunu has a ministry in Bandung reaching and teaching Sundanese people.

This is Buah Merah (Red Fruit). Pak Lipius brought over this plant from Papua and now grows it behind his house seen in the first photo. The red seeds on the outtside of the fruit are shaved off and then mixed with water and smashed by hand into a paste like mixter. Then once the extract is done from the seeds the juice like paste is eaten.
