April 4, 2011

In INDONESIA, a mob of over 1,000 Muslims attacked the courthouse where a Christian accused of insulting Islam was sentenced to five years in prison. They thought this sentence was too lenient, and wanted the death penalty instead. They also attacked two churches and a Christian school.

Ask God to guard and encourage the believers in this region. “The LORD is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble.”
