JAKARTA, INDONESIA (Worthy News) – Christians in Indonesia have appealed for prayers amid fresh concerns about a once-in-a-century earthquake in the country and Japan.
“Please pray for our country,” said Victoria, a house church organizer who also supports evangelism and prayer gatherings by evangelical churches.
The church worker, who uses only one name amid security concerns in the mainly Muslim nation, told Worthy News that she and other Christian’s often pray for Indonesia.
She spoke after Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) warned on the potential “for megathrust earthquakes” in the country.
It urged the government to do more to reduce the impact of potential future disasters on people, property, and the environment.
The BMKG Earthquake and Tsunami Center raised concerns about the potential for massive earthquakes “along the Sunda Strait and Mentawai-Siberut megathrust zones” after a powerful magnitude 7.1 earthquake hit Japan’s southwest on August 8, injuring at least 15 people.
The Japan Meteorological Agency also issued its first-ever advisory on the elevated likelihood of a megaquake following the tremor in Miyazaki Prefecture in southwestern Japan, although it was later withdrawn.
