Pray for Christian Leaders Detained During a Retreat

[275] prayers in [21] nations have been posted for Christian Leaders.

Police in Indonesia detained 15 Christian leaders on May 30, shortly after they arrived at a hotel in West Java for a weekend retreat. When the Christian leaders gathered in a conference room to sing worship songs, they were confronted by a large group of Muslims demanding that they stop singing. The mob locked the Christians in the conference room for an hour, until police arrived to escort them to a police station. Police questioned the Christians for several hours before releasing them. Although religious freedom is legally guaranteed in Indonesia, the leaders are more likely to face problems because they are all converts from Islam. Please pray for these 15 Christian leaders.
