20 formators from three provinces of Indonesia (Medan, Sibolga and Pontianak) gathered together at Pemantangsiantar for the formation course from 11 to 15 July 2011. It was organized by the SGF in collaboration with the International Formation Council member for PACC – Br. Tano Simamora and with the precious help of Br. Benitius Brevoort, the translator. Three essential themes of the formative journey were dealt with during the course: The Role of Fraternity in Formation (Br. Prince Valiyakunnel), The Role of Spiritual Accompaniment in Formation (Br. Patric Crasta) and The Role of Prayer in Formation (Br. Marek Miszczyński). The participants listened to the presentations on each theme, read some texts that deepened the awareness on the particular theme and at the end shared the personal experiences regarding the theme in the small groups as well as in the full assembly. Thus the great value and usefulness of dealing on the fundamental problems of Formation and the richness of mutual sharing was re-affirmed. The presence of Br. Bonifasius Simanullang, representative of the Indonesian Provincial Ministers, was highly appreciated by everyone.
