On May 31, 2024, Ferry faced sudden unemployment when he was laid off from his job, leaving his family in deep uncertainty. Instead of giving in to despair, Ferry helped his wife sell yellow rice at their children's school while actively searching for new opportunities, sustained by his wife's faithful prayers. By August 2024, he secured a new role as an accounting supervisor, but his faith was tested yet again when his contract was not renewed. Feeling the heavy burden of his age and family responsibilities, Ferry reached out to the CBN Indonesia Sahabat24 prayer helpline for spiritual support. Soon after, a former colleague contacted him with a job offer, and God cleared every obstacle for his transition, even arranging small details like a travel pass for his new commute. Ferry contacted the prayer ministry again in April 2026 to share how God had faithfully provided for him through every trial. Read the full account of Ferry's journey of faith and provision.

God met them in this space of shared faith, clearing away every obstacle and guiding him step-by-step to a new position that met his family's needs. This quiet victory serves as a gentle reminder that even in moments of sudden uncertainty, believers are never truly alone, and God remains actively at work to sustain His people.
