Taman Sari

Dewi Photo is one of the oldest photo studios in Salatiga. My family always went there for a formal photo shoot. We went there last time in the 80s, and they still exist until today.

They posted a series of photograph taken by the late founder of the studio, Andreas Budianto (Tjiang Gwat Bing). These are dedicated to him.

Rev and Mrs. van Emmerik Farewell

Prior to the establishment of the FTJE in 1968, Satya Wacana Christian University (UKSW) had already established a Faculty of Mathematics and Science (FIPIA) in 1962.
One of the lecturers at the time was Rev. Evan Lewis, M.Sc, who was sent by the New Zealand National Council of Churches

Rev. Lewis taught Calculus in FIPIA during the period 1962-1965, prior to Rev. Fred van Emmerik’s arrival in November 1964

Excerpts taken from "Encounter" (Presbyterian Church of Australia newsletter)

Farewell Party - FTJE 1969

The establishment of FIPIA provided the foundation for the later founding of FTJE.

In the July 1972 issue of "Encounter" Rev. Fred van Emmerik wrote:

"In order to fit in with existing Departments at nearby State Universities, and also to make the best possible use of our own Physics Department, it was decided to specialize in Eletrical Engineering. The greatest need seemed to be in that field. "

Study tour - Kantor Pos dan Telegrap (Now PT. Telkom) Salatiga

FTJE or "Elektro UKSW" became one of the most respected Electrical Engineering Faculties in Indonesia. From a humble small town its graduates dispersed around the globe.

Quoted from Mr Emmerik's farewell message in Bahasa:

"Kita mempunyai tugas yang luhur, yaitu mengembangkan dan menyebarkan pengetahuan manusia. Segala kemajuan manusia didasarkan atas pengetahuan yang makin bertambah ; pengetahuan tentang Alam, tentang masyarakat dan yang paling penting, pengetahuan tentang manusia dan hubungannya dengan Tuhan."

Formation of the Salatiga Mission

The Salatiga Mission owes its origin to the work of Ms. Elise Yohana Le Jolle (1824-1906), Mother of the Salatiga Mission.

She started the word of truth from spreading, after her husband, Van Vollenhoven who had left the service due to illness (he was former director of the Military Hospital in Ambarawa), became administrator of the estate Simo, east of the road from Salatiga to Boyolali.

Inspektor J. Sturzberg the shipment Neukirchener

In 1912 there were three residences in Semarang, Pekalongan, Rembang, item 10 items 24 bijgemeenten where teachers and helpers were employed. There were also a number of hawkers that thousands of Bibles and Bible Books and other Christian literature distributed.

From the joint work of the Salatiga Mission (Mission Ermelo) and Neukirchener Mission, in 1937 the Gereja Kristen Jawa Tengah Utara (GKJTU) arose.
