Lily, Sutrisna, Laura, and Alexander

Lily Endang Joeliani is one half of your Welcoming Committee. She shares responsibility with Nidia Johnson. Lily has been married to Sutrisna Harjanto (pronounced soo-trish-nah har-jen-toh) for 17 years this September. Lily has been at TEDS for 1 year while Sutrisna pursues his PhD in Educational Studies. Lily and Sutrisna have two children, Laura Elizabeth (16 in October) and Alexander Immanuel (11 this December). Lily moved to Illinois from Bandung, the capital of West Java province in Indonesia. Lily enjoys needlecrafts, cooking and baking, gardening, and books. She also enjoys connecting with people and travelling. Lily is an accountant by education but prefers work as a free-lance translator, from English to Indonesian. She has been translating for more than 20 years!

For wives: Lily says, "Get connected to other wives. You need them. Only seminary wives can understand the lives and struggles of other seminary wives. Get to know international wives. You will be enriched and your horizon widened. Most importantly: cling to God and the Word. You'll never be alone."
