Merciful Lord, today our prayers focus on Arman, a Kingdom Movement leader in and around the religious city of Tehran, Iran. We ask that you would strengthen him and bring others around him to help minister to those who have lost homes and livelihoods, consequences of both the bombings and the urging to flee during this war.
We remember your words from Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.” Minister to Arman and his team, restore their energy and fuel their zeal to bless and honor You in the midst of such heartache and pain. Glorify Your name, we pray. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

In recent years, persecution has increased significantly in the nation. Terrorist cells are continuing to sprout up. Yet, amid trial, the church of Indonesia has an opportunity to stand firm and share the love of God that cannot be measured and the Gospel that cannot be silenced.
Medan is the capital of North Sumatra. Surabaya is the capital of East Java. Many frontier peoples are in the city of Surabaya and the surrounding region.
