I am continuing my World Evangelism Prayer effort here in 2012.

For the month of January, Palembang, Indonesia is my focus.

How about a little info on Palembang? (click HERE to visit the site from which the excerpt below was taken.)

Palembang is the capital city of South Sumatra Province in Indonesia. Palembang is one of the oldest cities in Indonesia with a lot of history as a capital of a maritime empire. Located on the Musi River banks on the east coast of southern Sumatra island, it has an area of 400.61 square kilometres and a population of 1,441,500. Palembang is the second-largest city in Sumatra after Medan and the seventh-largest city in Indonesia. The city will host the 26th edition of Southeast Asian Games in November 11, 2011 along with Jakarta.

One million, four hundred forty-one thousand, five hundred people! And the majority of them are not Christian. I think my prayers will not be wasted. Neither would yours be if you would join me here in the month of January to pray however the HOLY SPIRIT leads you for this densely populated place occupied mostly with people given to Islam.

To read about Palembang’s arts and culture, click HERE. Within the tabs (pages) of that URL address you will find a plethora of information.

My heart was made tender when I read of Mercy Relief and the work they are doing there for special needs children. Click HERE to read.

There is much more Palembang information in web land to be explored but I will close this post mentioning Ken Raggio. It seems he is passionate to encourage and enlist the people of Palembang to study The Bible, to come to know JESUS CHRIST as Savior and LORD.  Click HERE to visit his webpage.

I hope many of you will join me praying for the people of Palembang, Indonesia.
