For the Nation

The country of Indonesia is experiencing some serious situations... situations only God is in control of. I was in the country for 10 of these events. I have experienced two of the earthquakes. It's not nice, honestly, to experience the things that I was in.

Please join me in praying for this nation. The Lord I know has something planned when He is literally shaking the nation.
