Promise for the Nation

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (The Bible, Jeremiah 29:11).

Indonesia is Southeast Asia’s largest country. The country has 17,508 islands. Each island has its own unique culture and religious traditions. Christians are the majority in some islands. However, their cultural differences make it nearly impossible for the Great Commission. There was also violence against Christian populations a few years ago, and this created a rift between Christians and Muslims in Indonesia. Most Christians who have done good work are reluctant to travel to different islands to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. With multiple cultural differences, an overall Church leadership structure seems far-fetched. However, the increase in persecution and the violence against Christians in Indonesia has brought the Indonesian Church together. Persecution is high in most of the islands. They are exceptionally high, where radical Islamic groups have more influence. Converts risk severe persecution as well as social isolation. Building church buildings is next to impossible. Church buildings and Christian-owned properties are often demolished. The country dropped nine places in the Open Doors Persecution List to settle at 42nd rank in 2024.

A Call to Salvation

Let those engulfed in the darkness of animism and voodoo be supernaturally delivered by the Holy Spirit (The Bible, John 1:5).

Promise to the Nation

You, LORD, are my lamp; the LORD turns my darkness into light (The Bible, 2 Samuel 22:29).

Benin is a small West African country. The population in this country has the lowest literacy rates throughout Africa. Corruption is rampant and lawlessness is increasing due to unavailability of economic reform and the government has no real knowledge about how to create jobs and maintain sustainable economic development. The country also has a large Christian population and is one of the last African countries where freedom of religion exists. The country is mineral rich however with limited transportation infrastructure, it is unable to sustain profitable business. The education infrastructure is outdated by decades and their textbooks are obsolete. A sizeable population is involved in voodoo and animism.
