“We call for a special prayer as the Covid-19 surge (more than 54,000 cases/day) pushes Indonesia’s health system to the brink. Please pray for wisdom for the Indonesian government. May God provide strength and protection to Mustard Seed’s teams on the field; teachers, and students. We are all united in agreement that God will not abandon us.”
