About the Selected Stories

The following stories are the true accounts and testimonies of the suffering church of Indonesia. These people have become victims of merciless and ruthless attacks upon their homes and lives.

The stories are severe and they speak for themselves. We include them here to help bring a personal connection to the many statistics born of the recent atrocities. In some cases names may have been changed in order to protect the individual.

In your reading, we ask that you think of these few as representatives of the many, and may your prayers be inclusive to all who would cry for mercy and help. May God prove himself true to the brothers and sisters who suffer in the name of Jesus Christ.

"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven..." Matthew 5:11
