The Police questioned me.
Written by Peter Youngren on August 10, 2010The Indonesian intelligence police have sent urgent messages that they want to meet me when I’m in Jakarta, where the Federal police have their headquarter. They have been insistent for quite a while and I didn’t know what to expect. Well, the meeting just happened.
They had questions about our Gospel Festivals, and the motive behind what we do. Lots of opportunity to talk about Jesus. Then the police surprised me. They laid aside their notebook, where they had recorded my answers, which they said will be reported to both the President and parliament. For the next 10 minutes, they gave eight suggestions for cities that would be great for a Gospel Festival, saying, “Indonesians really welcome your work”. Now it was Marius Nikolajsen’s (our Campaign manager) turn to take notes.
This was like a Macedonian call, “come over and help us”. It is a reminder that people are hungry for Jesus.
I’m committed; with the help of our partners we will continue to take the Gospel to everyone in the world’s largest Muslim nation. Thank You! Let me hear from you! -Peter

dear peter, i am born and raised in indonesia, within 44 years during my livelyhood i hv been travelling all over indonesia, a lovely and hospitable people most of them devoted muslims however just a fraction are fanatics and again only few of them are violent extremist. Uprising if happened are most due to poverty and ethnic/racial matters. Mrs. Jany ,one of our member of our church succeeded to rebuilt a church in nusakambangan for the drugs convicts and she is still there too now. I still have lots of friends in indonesia, hopefully i can meet you there someday.
Pastor peter these indonesian people needs people like you.
Salam dalam kristus, tony

Hi Pastor Youngren,
Im so delighted that you chose Indonesia, a few years back I saw a TV program that spoke on hard rock in Indonesia, and I saw that a satanic rock band in Indonesia, and it struck me that hard rock (satanic) was present in Indonesia, and also Ive seen how this nation is against christianity, this is now a breakthrough and I believe this will open up doors that will not be closed, if you can win Indonesia, you can win the world, thank you.
God Bless.

Peter,
I am so moved by the “open door” of God’s Favor to you. I know that God has His hand on you. I have seen first hand how God is opening the hearts of Indonesian Leaders, both religious and govenmental, to what God is doing through you in these Festivals. I celebrate with you and testify to the reality of this Favor of God and transformed lives. May all the partner’s rally to this call. We are well able to “go up” and see Jesus revealed and the Power of His Love transform peoples lives and cities in this nation and beyond.
God Bless you Peter. “Give’m Heaven!!!

I was thrilled to learn what happened in Indonesia. God has kindled His light on Indonesia because of your mission there. Of course, darkness cannot remain when light comes. Indonesia is for Jesus Christ.
I really thank God for raising a Ministry like yours. May God strengthen your Ministry, pouring His Spirit on it. Anywhere you go, the Holy Spirit will reveal Himself to the people and Jesus Christ will be exalted.
Through your Ministry the Muslims world will turn to Jesus Christ, declaring Him as their Lord and Saviour. The Holy Spirit will convict those Muslims who are persecuting the Christians, and they will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to their followers throughout the Muslim world, and the entire world, as Paul did, Amen.
May the Almighty God continue to bless you, your family, and members of your Ministry with good health, long life and prosperity, in Jesus Name, Amen.
I wish you God’s journey mercies.

I often believe that I have been such a disappointment. But, know that when God sees me he sees Jesus. But, here is what I often think about. If God sees Jesus who died for all of our sins, what does Jesus see when he looks down on earth. I try so very hard to be a good person and when I try really hard, I fail. But, when I run to Jesus to say I am sorry, he holds out his arms takes me into a tight hug and tells me it is okay. Go try again but, let me help you. Each day is better than the day before.
