Please call up all spiritual warriors to start fasting and sending up their prayers at this moment to prevent a genocide which may take place within hours in East Timor.

Since the Indonesian government declared martial law in the area, the province is practically sealed off from the outside world, and reports are coming in that houses, shops and markets in the entire city of Dili are being destroyed, torched and looted without any interference whatsoever from the Indonesian army and police force. The UNAMET is withdrawing its entire staff form Dili, leaving thousands of East Timorese refugees alone in their compound to meet an uncertain fate.

There have been unconfirmed reports that the militia have even gone to the refugee centres in Kupang, on the western side of the island and in Indonesian territory, to round up the male East Timorese and take them back in trucks to East Timor territory to be executed or to be used as human shields when they start their war against the Falintil rebels holed up in the hills.

There seems to be concentrated demonically supernatural activity over East Timor, and it takes united prayer on the part of God's people to foil any devious plans from the Evil one.

Please pray for peace in the area, and that the Lord will send thousands of His holy angels to protect His people.

While all eyes are upon Indonesia, let us ask God for His miraculous saving power to be manifested in this humanitarian crisis.
