Congregation Barred from Meeting

May 20, 2011

UPDATE: Officials in INDONESIA continue to oppose a congregation’s meetings despite a court ruling in the church’s favor. On March 11, the mayor revoked the church’s building permit. The next day, authorities locked the building. On Sunday morning, fully armed police forced congregation members to leave the roadside in front of the church.

Pray that the believers will not become discouraged. “Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.”
