(From christianpost.com and Morning Star News – 12/7/24) – SURABAYA, Indonesia — Muslims in a village in Indonesia stopped a church choir from rehearsing on Sunday evening for a Christmas service on the false premise that the Christians needed permission from community leaders, sources said.
In the predominantly Muslim Matajang neighborhood in Caile village, Ujungbulu District, Bulukumba Regency, South Celebes Province, the head of the local neighborhood association told members of the Catholic St. Yoseph Station church, “It’s important that the choir practice should be reported to the local government,” according to a video that appeared on TikTok account @sellsellss and on other social media.
Please pray for Christians around the world who may not feel as free to worship the Babe in the manger this Christmas season as those of us in the West. Then give God glory for all of your blessings in a free nation.
