We have known Pastor James for more than 10 years and whenever we are in Medan, will attempt to go and visit the church and meet Pastor James, if he is available. Once I saw him bless a car. He always spent time to speak to the public and we are comforted by him. We go to lick a candle after prayer and also to collect some bottles of holy water for blessing and bring back to Singapore. We will write a petition to ask for blessing and help in our daily life. Please feel free to come and view the historical gallery and buy some sovenirs for remembrance.

We had the most humbling experience when we visited and was one of our highlights for Medan and Indonesia. We learnt about Buddhism and will treasure this memory. The palace is grand and impressive without being ostentatious. Also the fortunate cafe serves all vegan food which is amazing the home made bread, tempeh and hot soup were amazing. Don't forget to try the vegan ice cream. All round one of favourite experiences. Please go if you have the chance and don't forget to donate.

This is a Chinese / Buddhist temple located in the older/ central part of Medan. It is easy to find/ and there isn't any admission charge. It is a lovely example of this type of temple and offers a slightly different insight into Indoneisan culture (being that the country is predominantly Muslim). It is worth a visit.

Shri Mariamman Kuil Temple: This Hindu Temple is a friendly and welcoming temple and the folk here are happy to have all faiths visit if suitably attired. Take off your shoes and walk into the main hall. Photography is allowed, but of course I avoided taking photos of devotees or of the divine images in the recessed rooms. All areas seem to be open for strolling around and the ornamentation is something of interest and beauty. The main column of the temple is being renovated presently and is in its undercoat of paint. I’m sure it will be in colourful majesty soon. It is always a great privilege to see other religions first hand and this temple is no exception. On leaving the temple I noticed a Sikh flag in the building next door and thought it worthwhile to take a look. I was welcomed and given a free guided tour. Headdress is required and provided. If you prefer a scarf or handkerchief of your own that will be adequate. Temple not listed on TA, but if your visiting this temple why not make the most of your visit in the area.
