Pray for Persecuted Christians in Indonesia


Free Email Bible Study Free online Bible study on Colossians after Easter

Map of Indonesia

I recently received this e-mail from a Christian who is an eyewitness of some of the persecution directed towards Christians in Indonesia by the muslim population:

On May '98, the worst riot has occurred in Jakarta and hundreds of Chinese were killed without mercy (such as burning alive with gasoline etc). At the time of the riot, the fire and smoke is every where just 500 meters from my house, at the east, north and south of my neighbourhood. But I could sense that there were millions of War Angels that God Jesus sent to keep us, His people who living here in Jakarta.

Now, in this moment, our Christian brothers and sisters in Ambon - Maluku, were in great danger, they are killed and accused by the moslems (includes the army and government). And until today (05 March 99) they are still in the trouble.

Back in 20 January 1999, Pastor and Christians students in Ambon - Maluku were attacked by the moslem mobs, the pastor's hands were cutted, and then he was burned by gasoline. His student were killed with knife by taking his stomach inside out of his body. From more than 100 Christian students, almost all were killed, except two or maybe three who survive.

One of them who survive is a man, the moslem mob cut her neck (head) until it was apart. But he testified that he saw an angel of God coming, and put back his head on his neck, and at the moment, he just fine and laying alive in hospital, even he could talk and testified, but he may not turn his head because it could be bleeding. The doctors just could not believe what they saw.

Please pray for the persecuted church in Indonesia, and pass the word about the travesty of justice and human rights. For more information about the situation there:
