More than 1,000 young people attended a four-day youth conference last week in Pyramid, Indonesia, located in Papua’s highlands. “Dozens made decisions to receive Jesus, dozens more brought fetishes to be burned, and still dozens more committed their life to serve Christ full-time,” says Alliance worker Barry Jordan, who ministered at the retreat. “Praise God, and thank you for praying!” Initially, about 600 youth were expected to attend.
“On the final night [of the retreat], the bonfire event was put off until 1:30 a.m. because of rain in the evening,” says Barry. “When it stopped raining, everybody woke up for it!”
Between 500 and 1,000 youth are expected to attend an October 6-9 retreat in Ilaga. “Pray that the Lord will speak His words through me to these young people who are so hungry for God,” says Barry.
