… PRAYER FOCUS: INDONESIA

Hunger is once more making the headlines in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), the province which includes the island of Timor. GMIT’s congregations are spread throughout this province as well as part of Sumbawa in West Nusa Tenggara. At present, it is the height of the dry season and although this annual problem is not new, changing climate patterns and successive failed harvests in recent years are making it more severely felt. Pray for those suffering the effects of climate change and crop failure, especially the very young and the elderly.
