Indonesia: Abandoned for coming to Jesus
Indonesia: Abandoned for coming to Jesus
"Lidya" (not her real name) is well aware of the cost to follow Christ in the Muslim-dominated nation of Indonesia. Her story is not uncommon in the Muslim world, where women are abandoned, tortured or even killed by their husbands for becoming Christians. But despite the cost, Lidya will not be intimidated from telling others about Jesus and what He has done in her life.

- Pray for Indonesia
Pray for the continued growth of the church in Indonesia, despite the intense opposition and persecution that has taken place. May the destructive plans of the enemy to eradicate Christianity be frustrated and nullified.
Pray that whatever is intended for evil, God will turn around for good – causing such hatred and violence to not only discredit extremism, but to also compel many to seek salvation in Christ... including the perpetrators of persecution.
