(christiansunite.com) - Approximately 250 members of the Muslim "Anti-Apostasy Movement Alliance" (AAMA) forced their way into a Pasundan Christian Church in the South Bandung area of West Java on November 18, according to a report from the Dutch office of Open Doors.The militants held an Islamic prayer service in the building and then began destroying the furnishings and interior of the building with knives and sticks. The church has over 300 members and has been operating for more than fifty years. This is not the first time that AAMA activists have attacked this church.
Pray for the members of this church as they rebuild following the attack. Pray that they will be a testimony of peace and forgiveness to those who perpetrated this violence.
