Christian worship activities in Balaraja, Tangerang, Indonesia were disbanded by Muslim residents.

The activity has been running for more than 2 years. Previously, he had asked permission from local Islamic religious leaders. However, on March 17 2024, the RT head and local residents protested the Christian activities and forced the activities to stop. The reason their residents feel disturbed. When asked what the problem was, they didn't answer.

When asked for information, the police revealed that "Christians without coercion stopped their activities forever".
Despite the fact, Christians in that location were under intimidation by the masses.

In Indonesia, there are many areas where building churches is made difficult by both the local government and local Muslim residents. There are even areas where just by praying and singing at home, Muslims will come and ban it.

Prayers for Indonesia. Seems it is time for some Christians to go underground when worshipping. Some countries much sooner than others.
I pray for all of you, for strength, faith and courage to stand for our God in the midst of the violence.
God bless and keep you all safe.

There are many countries where Christians have had to go 'underground' for fear of retribution by the ruling bodies but nothing and nobody can stop a Christian praying. It might be silently, it might be alone or with a couple of others and it may in in 'tongues' but God will hear. Even the early church was split and had to leave Jerusalem due to persecution. But people seem to get stronger and more serious when they are up against these evil forces.

Also, in some countries they call their houses of worship "prayer halls".

Lord bind the power of darkness and let your light shine here. Lord protect your believers there. Lord bless this prayer request and you be glorified , in Jesus glorious name, Amen!
I pray in agreement with my brother MyDreams,
Thank you Father for hearing our prayers and that you are in control and, the spirit of the enemy is already defeated, therefore our hope lies in you and your strength, amen.
