Story number 2 for 27 Dec 2001

(Indonesia) — Next, Christmas in Poso and Tentena, Indonesia was peaceful, though a little tense. Doctor Jeff Hammond of Indonesia for Christ reports that the military is guarding all churches as many had feared a bloody Christmas. Hammond says security forces have said the Laskar Jihad would still like to destroy Tentena, but there’s a new commitment by the Government to stop the violence. Pray many turn to Christ because of this answered prayer.
