Prayers for Indonesia
Thank you for praying for the Bible Society team in Indonesia. There is a team in the devastated Palu region who are doing all they can to join in the relief mission in their community.
Alicia Chandradewi from the Bible Society in Indonesia shared the following:
"We were finally able to make contact with our Supporting Working Group in Palu on October 1. We are so grateful that the group members and their immediate families are safe, but many of them are still waiting to hear news of other relatives. Those who are safe are now working alongside the government to serve people in shelters."
At least 1,400 people have lost their lives, with many still missing. Over 70,000 people are now living in temporary shelters, desperate for help and hope.
Alicia says
"Our Bible Society volunteers tell us that people need water, tea, coffee, rice, sugar, canned food, eggs, cooking oil, milk, baby food, biscuits, instant noodles, medicine, vitamins, blankets and Bibles. Our office staff in Manado are collecting goods that we can deliver to Palu. Please keep us in your prayers.”
