West Java Authorities Shut Down Seven Churches

fundamentalist-muslimWest Java is quickly becoming one of the most intolerant provinces toward religious minorities in Indonesia. Authorities in the Cianjur district, which is about 90 km from Jakarta, have ordered seven churches to close because of allegedly having irregularities in their building permits. Building a church in Indonesia is a long and complicated process, requiring many permits, as well as permission from residents in the area where the church is to be built. The alleged lack of building permits has led to the closure of many churches since 2006, including several who had been meeting for years and had no issues until the communities were stirred up by extremist movements. The churches in Cianjur have been active since 1990, when a local branch of the Ministry of Religious Affairs gave approval for them to meet.

Pray for these churches to seek the Lord and see what He would have them do in this situation. Ask the Father to give them encouragement and provide another place for them to meet.

Irah with an enlarged stomach and continuing to get larger met a team of God’s workers. She was unable to find help from medical doctors and witchcraft doctors. The team prayed for her in the name of the Savior and was healed and felt peace in her heart. Pray for her faith. pic.twitter.com/SjDo…

Please pray for the Praying for Indonesia prayer ministry to have more subscribers who faithfully pray for the greater than 230 million Indonesian unbelievers. 170 million of them have not heard the Word of God.

A woman recently asked a God's worker about what it takes to be forgiven for our sins. After discussing how good works do not work, the worker shared how God gave his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. Pray for God to continue to work in her heart to respond to his love for her. pic.twitter.com/NGRy…
