In 2009, high school friends Sabrina Joseph and Nicholas Pudjiadi spent many nights during their six-month internship in Singapore envisioning how their life would pan out once they returned to their hometown, Jakarta.

They thought they would have careers in the hospitality industry but life had a different plan. Instead they co-founded the Catholic Fellowship Jakarta (CFJ), which provides Sunday services in English for Catholic youths in the capital.

Sabrina and Nick talked with My Jakarta about their passion for serving, what they hope to achieve with CFJ, and religious freedom in Indonesia.

How do you guys know each other?

Sabrina: I was born and raised in Jakarta until I left for Switzerland after high school to pursue a degree in hospitality. It was during this time that I was able to reconnect with my dear high school friend Nick who was interning at a different hotel in Singapore at the same time.
