VOM-USA Prayer Update for  November 2, 2012  : Indonesia--Church Ordered to  Move Source: Church Ordered to Move The Taman Yasmin Indonesian Christian Church (GKI)  in Bogor, West Java, was recently ordered to relocate to a neighborhood three miles from its current location.  The church, which was forced to meet outdoors for years because of Islamic pressure, believes it would  face strong opposition at the new site and has  firmly rejected the order. It has instead called on officials to respect a 2010 Supreme Court ruling  that reinstated the church's building permit.  Under pressure from local Muslims, authorities  have closed nine "illegal" churches in Banda Aceh.  Two weeks ago, the churches' leaders were forced to sign statements agreeing to close their church  buildings. Authorities have warned that they will  continue to monitor these congregations to ensure that church activities are not resumed. Please pray for GKI and other churches in Indonesia as they  struggle to worship God amid severe persecution. Iran--Church Leaders Sentenced to Prison Sources: Mohabat News Luke 22:33 On Oct. 15, an Assemblies of God pastor in Ahwaz,   Iran, and three of the church's ministers were each sentenced to one year in prison after being convicted  of "converting to Christianity, inviting Muslims to  convert, as well as propagating against the Islamic  regime through promoting Evangelic Christianity."  Pastor Farhad Sabokrouh; his wife, Shahnaz Jeizan;  Naser Zamen Dezfuli; and Davoud Alijani received  the maximum penalty for the charges, and they  may appeal the ruling. Pray that God will give peace  and strength to these pastors as well as other  imprisoned Christians still awaiting trial. Tanzania--Christian Guards Protect Imprisoned Teen Source: VOM Contacts Numbers 6:25 A Tanzanian teenager charged with desecrating a  Quran has been blessed with the protection of tw  Christian prison guards. A VOM contact who  visited 17-year-old Eva Abdullah this month said the female Christian guards promised to care for  Eva and help keep her safe. Eva converted from  Islam to Christianity three years ago and was  subsequently disowned by her family. When a  group of radicals couldn't persuade her to deny  her faith in Christ, they falsely accused her of desecrating a Quran. Although many Christian  leaders were afraid to defend her, compassion  attorneys have taken her case. Pray for the  continued protection of Eva and her Christian guards.  Praise God for these two guards, who are a comfort to Eva as she awaits trial, and pray that Eva will continue  to shine the light of Christ.
