One year ago today, our teammate and friend, Ben Uskert, tragically drowned while attempting to save the life of a young person here in Banda Aceh. His story and sacrifice has made a lasting impact and impression on this community. He brought such a Light to this place. He is dearly missed.
Today, many of us gathered together to remember him and celebrate the life that He was given here on earth, and to pray for his wife and son, Katie and Jeremiah. The Lord has shown such great peace and comfort to them that goes beyond understanding - it is the grace of God.

A close-up of it.
Planting a yellow Plumeria tree (Ben's favorite) in honor of him.
Afterwards.
Such a fragrant flower - much like the life Ben lived.
"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13.
