म बस्छु Medan, the bustling capital of North Sumatra — a city alive with movement, trade, and culture. Indonesia, my homeland, stretches across thousands of islands, each one rich with history and diversity. Our motto, “"विविधतामा एकता,"”captures the heart of who we are: more than ३०० जातीय समूहहरू र ६०० भाषाहरू, each bringing a piece of this archipelago’s soul.

But alongside this beauty lies tension. In recent years, persecution has grown, and आतंकवादी कोषहरू continue to rise across the nation. Following Jesus here can mean losing everything — family, security, even life. Yet the Church stands firm. The love of God cannot be contained by laws or fear; His Gospel continues to move, even in whispers.

Here in Medan, the mix of peoples is as vivid as the city itself — Batak, Malay, Javanese, Chinese, and many frontier peoples who have never heard the name of Jesus. This place is a crossroads, not just of commerce but of calling. I believe God has positioned Medan as a spiritual gateway for Indonesia — a city where prayer can shake the islands and where the light of Christ can reach the unreached.

• प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् the many unreached people groups in and around Medan to encounter Jesus through relationships, dreams, and courageous witnesses. (योएल २:२८)

• प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् the Church in Indonesia to stand strong amid persecution and to radiate God’s love with grace and boldness. (एफिसी ६:१३-१४)

• प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् unity among the diverse believers in Medan — Batak, Chinese, Javanese, and others — to reflect the heart of Christ. (यूहन्ना १७:२१)

• प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् peace and protection over the city as extremism rises, and for those promoting violence to be transformed by the Gospel. (Romans 12:21)

• प्रार्थना गर्नुहोस् revival to flow from Medan — that this city would become a beacon of faith, hope, and reconciliation for all Indonesia. (हबकूक २:१४)
