"Telling people" about Jesus was other people's vocation. I was not any kind of minister/preacher nor did I have any official spiritual/pastoral role.

Jesus "saves people from sin".

I wasn't a missionary.

I was just working for the local Catholic diocese.

I didn't meet anyone during those years who did not already 'have' religion, whether it be Protestantism, Catholicism, Islam, Hinduism, traditional beliefs or animist beliefs.

And besides, there is no trying actively to convert people from one religion to another in Indonesia.

It's Jesus who "saves" according to Christian beliefs.

There was no "fearing". I had a few dicey moments, though, in the rough bars down in the harbour where there were squiffy North Korean fishermen with incomplete sets of fingers.

30 years ago? No, I wouldn't say so. But you are welcome to see it that way, if you want.

Christians and Muslims believe in "Hell" but, where I was living, people didn't go around "fearing it" to the extent that they would talk about it to me.
