SMAK Cahaya Logos Christian High School, our mission partner on Siberut Island, Mentawai, Indonesia, officially opened on March 18, 2024. This August 2026 marks a significant milestone — the school’s first Year 12 graduation. The school is dedicated to nurturing future entrepreneurs and leaders grounded in strong moral values, with a focus on academic excellence, holistic development, and empowering local youth. The school currently has approximately 30 students across Years 10, 11, and 12, with 8–10 new Year 10 students joining this July.

Hosted by founder Jemmy Suhadi and school principle Gladys Suhadi, our team will serve, stay, spend time with local community and more importantly the school’s boarding students who come from various surrounding islands. This trip is a unique opportunity to invest meaningfully in their lives.

Cahaya Logos Christian High School is dedicated to:

• Inspiring Future Entrepreneurs: Providing a stimulating environment to develop entrepreneurial skills.
• Delivering Quality Education: Offering modern facilities and experienced educators.
• Promoting Holistic Development: Focusing on academic excellence and strong moral character.
• Empowering Local Youth: Producing competent and ethically grounded graduates for the Mentawai community.

Not only do we get to live in school, invest and interact daily with students during our stay, we also have the privilege as a team to hold a Class or Workshop for a total of 3 sessions on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday (??), themed around LifeSkills. The purpose is to help students see clearer, have their minds opened, and develop strong identity through our life’s testimonies, as most students have been living in poverty since childhood, which has shaped their mindset.

A Class/Workshop (90 mins) consists of: 

• 10 mins - Ice Breaker
• 20 mins - Theory/Teachings
• 15 mins - Discussion
• 30 mins - Theory/Teachings
• 15 mins - Q&A

The school offers general school subjects such as Math, Physics, Bahasa Indonesia, etc. However, the founder Jemmy and his daughter Gladys have added more subjects that they think are really crucial in building the students' mindset, inner beings and identity. They have been consistently speaking and teaching about Teamwork, Resilience, Discipline, Independence, and Emotional Intelligence (how to have a strong and tough mentality).
 
Feel free to explore topics, your skills/knowledge and/or your life testimony during these classes/workshops. Below are some topics that I have in mind:

• Mindset - Self Identity
• Time Management / Build a healthy habit
• Budget - how to record and manage finances.
• How to interpret bible passage
• Intentional devotion - S.O.A.P methods
• Life Values: honesty, grace, respect, responsibility, hard work, accountability
• Emotional intelligence
• Upskill: Paint/music/cooking
