2 Corinthians 10:4 - 5 says, "For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ".
Isn't it wonderful to know that prayer is the best weapon we have against evil! This is very encouraging because we know the God of the Bible is the One true God who can and will move on behalf of His children.
The Christian Post has the following story on the latest with the women who are on trial for "trying to convert children to Christianity."
Prayer Campaign Launched for Indonesian Christians on Trial
An international ministry that supports and strengthens persecuted Christians is launching a writing campaign for three Christian women who are standing trial in Indonesia on charges of “Christianization.”
The campaign, which Open Doors USA announced yesterday in a statement, intends to let Dr. Rebecca Laonita Zakaria, Ratna Mala Bangun and Ety Pangesti know that Christians in the West are praying for them.
“These women need our prayers and letters of support,” said Open Doors USA President Dr. Carl Moeller. “That these women are in prison for simply conducting a Christian education program for kids is another example of how Christians suffer for their faith.”
“Join me in praying for their release and the continuation of this important ministry in Indonesia,” Moeller added.
If you would like to join in supporting these suffering saints please follow the guidelines below.
