Indonesian Christians Jailed for Preaching Gospel to Muslims

2008-07-27 11 Dailymotion

Three Indonesian Sunday school teachers - Rebekka, Ratna, and Eti - were imprisoned back in May 2005 for converting Muslim children to Christianity. <br /><br />The three women did not keep their faith in Christ to themselves. They shared it with fellow inmates. <br /><br />Edi Koswara was one of those inmates. He is in jail for stealing a motorcycle and says it was the kindness of Rebekka that led him to ask her about Jesus. <br /><br />"I saw the kindness of Jesus on her face. I know every child of God has joy on his face. I want the same and know about this," said Edi. <br /><br />And Edi, the former Hindu and Muslim, embraced Christianity. <br /><br />She said, "I know Jesus has died for me and has forgiven my sins. When I die, I know I will be with Jesus in heaven. <br /><br />Inspired by biblical passages, Edi made several paintings which Rebekka used in her Bible studies. <br /><br />Rebekka says she believes all the good things that happened to them inside the prison were answers to the prayers of Christians from around the world. <br /><br />And prayers for their early release have also been answered. Eti, Ratna and Rebekkaa will be freed on parole in June. <br /><br />But will the three women stop teaching Sunday school to the children? <br /><br />"Of course not! No," said Rebekka. "But we must be wise because they will watch us." <br /><br />But with their heavenly father closely watching them, Eti, Ratna and Rebekka said they are confident that their future is secured. <br />http://www.cbn.com/CBNnews/167245.aspx
