On January 25, The Voice of the Martyrs received the news that our medical treatment centre and storage facility in Indonesia had been totally destroyed by fire. Valuable medical supplies and items for distribution to persecuted believers in the country were destroyed. Thankfully there were no injuries. The cause of the fire is under investigation. Pray that the supplies needed for this valuable work will be restored soon so that the ministry will be able to continue. On February 1, VOM also learned that the local government in West Pasaman, West Sumatra had issued regulations that all female students in public and Islamic schools must wear the Muslim head coverings, regardless of their religion. Only private Christian schools are exempt from the regulations.
In a follow-up to our report in December in which a sixty-one year old security guard was shot during a church attack on December 12. VOM has learned that ballistic evidence indicates that a police weapon was used in the shooting. A high-ranking police officer has also been implicated in this and another church attack in Central Sulawesi that day. Pray for endurance for Christians facing persecution in various ways in Indonesia. Pray for justice and peace.

Most Populous Muslim Nation....and this from the 'religion of peace?
"Challenges"
Challenges? Is that what they call torture, murder and rape? Challenges? But never fear. The US Christian taxpayer is sending millions so the Muslims can re-establish their child sex trade and build new Mosques. After all, the Imams have to have some place to rally the troops against the Christians.
