The mission of the Scottish Bible Society is to provide God's Word to all people,

in a language they can understand,
in a format they can use,
and at a price they can afford.

The Society distributes Bibles, New Testaments and other Scripture-based materials, in a range of media, in Scotland and throughout the world.

Working with the churches, Scripture Union aims to make God's news known to children, young people and families and to encourage people of all ages to meet God daily through the Bible and prayer.

Prayer Alert cont'd (Page 4 of 4)

4. INDONESIA

A group of Indonesian Christians face up to five years in jail if they are found guilty of 'insulting Islam'.

More than 40 Christians were detained in April after a video showing them standing around a copy of the Koran and praying for Muslims 'deceived' by it was leaked to Islamic groups. They then circulated it to the media.

Now the Christians have been charged under Article 156 KUPH which targets 'anyone who expresses hatred, opposition or insults one individual or groups of Indonesian citizens in public', according to the Voice of the Martyrs USA. Their accusers claim blasphemy. Among the Christians who have been detained are the parents of young children.

* Ask God to protect and secure the release of these Christians.
* Pray that the broadcasting of the tape will not have wider repercussions for Indonesian Christians.
