It is only a matter of time before the ground will shake again. Next time their home might be completely ruined. Ermawati recently told her children that if their home crumbles they must move to a different location.

This family is from the influential Minang people. Minangs often move to where they can make a good living, so there are Minang people all over Sumatra and other Indonesian islands. They live with no hope. Their Islamic beliefs leave them feeling like they must accept whatever Allah wills. Their animistic practices offer them even less assurance.

Pray for a hunger for spiritual truth among these influential people. Pray for a powerful movement of the Holy Spirit that will draw thousands of Minang people into Christ’s holy kingdom. Pray that there will soon come a day when Minang households will use their influence to win other Indonesian Muslims to Him.
