March 16, 2011

On December 19 in INDONESIA, a mob of Muslims gathered at 4:00 AM at a church and the pastor’s nearby house. They demanded that the police confiscate the church’s possessions. They also glued shut the fence lock on the pastor’s home and forced him to leave. The police did not stop the mob, and later agreed to seize the pews and other items.

Pray that the congregation and pastor will remain strong in the Lord. “...He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him.”
