In Indonesia, the situation for Christians has been deteriorating, with Indonesian society taking on a more conservative Islamic character. In many homes, Christian converts are increasingly verbally abused and isolated by their Muslim families.
Over the last several years, Christians have also endured violent Islamic extremist attacks on both churches and villages that have left believers traumatized, praying for strength and peace.
We can pray specifically for believers in Aceh province - the primary hotbed of persecution and the only province governed by Shariah law. The building of new churches is impossible there, and converts face the strongest pressure to renounce their faith and return to Islam.
Open Doors comes alongside Indonesian believers by partnering with indigenous mission agencies to distribute Bibles, and provide micro-loans, discipleship and persecution training and even safe houses when Christians are in danger.
Please pray for Christians who leave Islam and are heavily pressured by family and community to renounce their new faith in Jesus. Ask God to give them the support they need - as well as access to a Bible and the training to read it and grow in their faith.
Pray that churches who are trying to obtain locations for worship would find favour with the government and be granted freedom to gather and worship in peace.
Pray for those who have lost loved ones in the extremist attacks. Ask God to give them His comfort and peace.
Pray that God would give ministry leaders and volunteers the boldness and perseverance they need to both lead and serve the church in Indonesia.
Pray for Christian children and teens, who often face discrimination and isolation for their faith. Ask God to keep them hope, that they would know that they are not alone.
