Eld Agoes had Christian influence in his childhood from his late Christian mother and chose Christianity as a subject in primary school. His mother brought him to church in Solo, Indonesia, to join the youth fellowship. He accepted Christ in August 1985 during his first year in high school when he was challenged by a mentor in his Christian youth fellowship with an unforgettable question, “If you go home later, cross the street, get hit by a car and die - Do you know where your soul goes? To heaven or hell?”. He later got baptised in October 1987. He continued to serve in different churches where he has moved, growing in faith and obedience even through challenges along the way
