Malanowski, Marjorie - INDONESIA

December 29, 2022, John passed away peacefully in his sleep in Indonesia, where he and Marjorie have faithfully served the Lord for 46 years.  He was 89 years old, just six months from his 90th birthday.  His Celebration of Life Service was held January 15, 2023 at Calvary Baptist Church, 1935 Anclote Blvd., Holiday, Florida 34691.

In July, 1974, John and Marjorie were approved as World Baptist Fellowship missionaries to Indonesia.  In March 2001 they moved from the island of Java to the island of Bali because the churches they had established in Java had become indigenous.  They believed God was leading them to establish an Independent Baptist Church as well as a Bible Institute on the Hindu island of Bali which is one of the many thousands of islands that make up the country of Indonesia.

John was led to the Lord by his mom when he was seventeen years old. Marjorie was saved at First Baptist Church of Traverse City, Michigan in 1947.

They were married in Traverse City in 1953 and their sending church is the Pensacola Baptist Temple of Pensacola, Florida.
