Christians in Indonesia loose everything in a typoon and want Bibles most of all

[Wylandadh]

Friends, a massive tropical typhoon hit East Tenggara, Indonesia on April 4. The storm caused massive damage - destroyed many homes, swept away livestock and killed about 177 people.
"I witnessed empty houses because all the belongings in them had been swept away," said Pastor Gomar Gultom. "I also saw lots of land because the houses too were completely washed away. Countless livestock had disappeared, and they left a disturbing smell."
But Pastor Gomar was amazed at the resillence of the people and the show of unity in facing the disaster together. "They no longer thought of their own denominational background. Each pastor was serving people regardless of where they were from," he said. "But what amazed me even more was that no one complained about the loss of their property. instead, they were grieving because they've lost their Bibles." They hope they can get a new Bible soon. For me this is very extraordinary."
Pastor Daud Tari shared:"This Sunday I have to borrow a Bible. I don't care about clothes. I can preach wearing a saron. But for Sunday service, I must have a Bible."
Pastor Gomar shared the need for 14,008 Bibles with our local partners. Our partners are currently working with the Indonesian Bible Society to send 4,000 out of 14,008 Bibles to these believers.

Pray for God's provision in helping those who need Bibles. Pray God will move people's hearts to take part and be a blessing for their brothers and sisters in East Nusa Tenggara.

Pray for distribution on site. Damaged infrastructure will hinder the distribution of the Bibles. Many areas can not be reached by vehicles. Pray for alternative routes and provision for those who are going to the field to help with the distribution.

Pray for the typhoon victims. Some of them lost their houses and belongings, and it will take some time for them to rebuild what has been lost. Let's pray for God's provision and strength upon them. Pray for the peace of God to reign in theeir hearts while dealing with this tragedy.

Thanks so much for praying, God bless. All information from a charity called Open Doors USA via a text alert. please visit their website to sign up for text alerts or emails.

Prayer Focus: God Thank You. Thank You for loving me. God I ask You in Jesus' name to protect me from all Covid variants. Show me what to do, what not to do, where to go, where not to go, and what to take to stay safe and protected from all Covid variants. God also bless me with the desires of my heart that is the will of God for my life. Bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the grace and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You and make You known. God heal me totally in all areas of my life. Make me whole in You. Help me to always keep my focus on You, trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You first in all my ways, and allow You to direct the path I take and the words that I speak. Bless me to walk in the faith, love, truth, peace, security, wisdom, and joy of Your presence and Word. Remind me when I forget to greet each day with a heart of thanksgiving unto You for who You are, all You have done, and will do in my life. Help me, show me how, and bless me to have a stronger more intimate relationship with You and fulfill my God-Purpose. God encamp Your angels all around me to cover and protect me from all sickness, evil, hurt, harm, danger, accidents, the plans of my enemies, and the plans of the enemy of my soul. God deal with my enemies according to Your Word. God all that I have asked of You in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of this prayer and all those I care about. God forever honor this prayer over each of our lives daily. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so. Thank You Jesus.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
