BEING CHRISTIAN has always been dangerous. Jesus and all His Disciples but one, were murdered. Two thousand years later, in some areas, being Christian is still so dangerous that 192,000 police are being deployed to protect our Brothers and Sisters in Christ.

I am glad President Jokowi was reelected and that they are sending out the police. Let us pray that they catch any would-be bombers and break up the whole terrorist ring.

I went to Solo to minister once many years ago, or a town close by. I was told the radicals had a training camp nearby where they would go out and practice fighting in the woods at night. Many years later, when I was there last time, there were suicide bombers who blew up three church buildings around Christmas time, Pentecostal, Adventist, and Roman Catholic. I believe a child was involved in the bombing. Last year, a family of six, including a 9-year-old was said to have blown up a church.

It's crazy. Indonesians tend to be non-radical Muslims, who got their Islam from a milder sufi origin. When the bombing craziness happens, most of the Muslims think it is crazy. If they blow up hotels or embassies, a lot of Muslim taxi drivers and security guards die. Fortunately, the government opposes the terrorism.

Let's pray that police will be able to spot motorcycles with bombers on them and stop them, and that sort of thing.

Indonesia has come to the forefront at our church in Belmont. A few years ago about 20 Indonesians came in one Sunday morning. WORSHIP!!! Wow they started a fire. We were blessed by their enthusiasm. They have returned each year for the allotted time they have to stay as guests or tourists. They have bought a home here in the USA. They spend their week witnessing on the streets of Charlotte and towns near by.
They are amazing. They encourage converts to attend church, some have accompanied them to our church. I can't remember any becoming regular. BUT these people are on fire for our Lord and the Kingdom. Smile

That is a LOT of law enforcement personnel.

Link, I appreciate you sharing some background details and information about how to pray. Lord, please help us all to remember to seek you and your mercy for our persecuted brothers and sisters. Amen.
