When I saw this story this morning I felt my heart sink. As you know, we have covered this story since its inception and these three precious Indonesian ladies are still going through the Refiners Fire.
Remember back when they were arrested wrongly for trying to convert children to Christianity...then how they were arrested and sentenced to three years in prison...well, now they have lost their second appeal in the Indonesian court which means they only have one appeal left.
Today Christian Freedom International is reporting the following.
A local pastor who visits the three women weekly told Christian Freedom International, "I regret to inform you, after the second phase court level--in Indonesia's law process system, we have a three phase law court level--the second court judge agreed with the decision of the first court judge. This means Dr. Rebekka, Etty, and Ratna face a punishment of three years in prison."
The pastor said, "That's why we still need support from all of our brothers and sisters to continue with the legal process until the highest level-the third level is complete-the last action for our law process system."
The pastor thanked Christian Freedom International and other organizations for publicizing the case. "Brothers and sisters, thanks so much for sending information about Dr. Rebekka, Etty and Ratna case to all over the world," said the unnamed pastor.
The pastor further urged concerned people to continue writing to the imprisoned Sunday school teachers. "They received letters from our brother/sister, who encourage them with the words and prayer support, sympathies and also spiritual warfare prayer. They really appreciated it, and believe that our God in Christ will bless you all!"
You may also see a wonderful spread of pictures of these dear ladies at the Christian Freedom International website.
