Foundation Leadership

Roy Arjuna’s life exemplifies faithful and humble service. From a young age, he showed a strong commitment to God and a sincere desire to help others, demonstrating true leadership wherever he served.

After studying at Bethel Seminary Jakarta, Roy was assigned to Bali to assist Pastor Anak Agung Oka Panji Tisna at GBI Anugerah Tuhan by serving as a counsellor at Rumah Bapaku Bali. There, he mentored children with compassion, guiding them based on the Bible. Even in a supporting role, his dedication was evident—he poured his heart into each child’s growth.

Over time, Roy expanded his skills beyond pastoral care. He became a teacher at an international school, gaining experience in education, leadership, and cross-cultural understanding. He also earned a Master’s in Teaching, further enabling him to mentor and inspire children and young leaders with wisdom.

After Pastor Anak Agung Oka Panji Tisna’s passing, Roy took on the role of pastor at GBI Anugerah Tuhan, leading the congregation while staying connected with the children at Rumah Bapaku Bali. He ministers as both a spiritual leader and a trusted mentor, ensuring that children feel valued and loved.

In 2018, Roy became Head of the Rumah Bapaku Bali Foundation, overseeing its vision, programs, and spiritual direction. His leadership is rooted in Scripture and shaped by years of mentoring, all driven by a heartfelt dedication to the children’s well-being and development. He is a teacher, mentor, pastor, and shepherd who leads by example—showing children, staff, and supporters what faithful love, compassion, and service look like in action. Under Roy’s leadership, the Foundation thrives—nurturing and empowering children to reach their full potential. Supporting him means partnering to create lasting change and helping lives blossom into futures filled with hope.

Ezekiel Yoshihiro’s childhood was not spent in a typical household. He was raised amidst a large family of 37 brothers and sisters, their lives intertwined, filled with shared meals, challenges, prayers, and hope— realising early on that family isn't just about blood, but instead the people we build bonds with.

Growing up alongside everyone at Rumah Bapaku Bali, he helped both his siblings and staff members, always caring for their wellness, being present through the sunshine and rain. He became a big brother long before the title was ever spoken, earning trust not through demands but through supporting others with patience and understanding.

As he grew, Ezekiel naturally took on mentoring roles. Leading by example, he demonstrated responsibility and integrity in everyday actions. Eventually, Ezekiel set out to chase his dream of becoming a pilot, completing his studies in Australia. Though miles away from Bali, his heart remained rooted there —forever called to serve and give back.

Today, Ezekiel is the Advisor and Trustee at Rumah Bapaku Bali, overseeing the organisation with faith and integrity to ensure the foundation continues to move towards its vision and missions. He’s always ready to offer a helping hand and receive you with a smile.

Anak Agung Ayu Suryawathi, the third child of Pastor Anak Agung Oka Panji Tisna, growing up, took the role of everyone’s big sister, to care for her family with gentleness and kindness, placing others before herself—a trait she continues to embody today.

In her youth, she actively served in ministry groups in Jakarta, traveling to churches across Indonesia to serve people from all walks of life. These years serving shaped her heart and strengthened her commitment to a life of meaningful service. Professionally, she dedicated many years to the Indonesian government in Jakarta, holding key roles and representing Indonesia in the international community. Through this work, she gained valuable experience in diplomacy, cross-cultural engagement, and public service.

After retiring, she returned to Bali to continue the legacy of service carried by her grandfather, King Anak Agung Panji Tisna, her father, and her family. Today, she serves as Public Relations at Rumah Bapaku Bali, building strong relationships with the local government, churches, and the wider community. Her role helps ensure that the foundation’s mission of love continues to reach and transform lives.

Alongside her ministry work, Ayu is a devoted mother of two, raising her children with the same values of faith that shaped her own life. Ayu stands as a living bridge between generations— carrying a legacy of love forward and inviting others to become part of the story.

Anak Agung Ayu Evariawati, the fourth child of Pastor Anak Agung Oka Panji Tisna, grew up inspired by her mother’s calling as a teacher. This passion for educating and serving others propelled her to earn a doctorate in teaching. She is committed to shaping young minds and hearts.

Working as a middle-school teacher and lecturer at Jakarta’s flight school, Evariawati pours her devotion into guiding students academically and spiritually. At the foundation, she serves as the Mentor for the Generation of Hope, equipping them with practical teaching skills and a pastoral heart for ministry. She teaches them to lead and inspire the younger generation through Christ-centred love, preparing them to serve with integrity and devotion in their hearts.

A proud mother of a daughter who is also following in her footsteps as a teacher, Evariawati continues to invest herself into lives and hearts for the glory of God and the good of all His people.
