Three Indonesian Sunday school teachers who were found guilty of “Christianization” reflected on their prison sentence and said it was worth it after being freed on Friday.“This is nothing compared with the suffering and persecution faced by others,” Dr. Rebekka Zakaria said to Open Doors U.K. “Compared with the Lord’s love and what He has given me, it is worth it.”The Christian women reportedly transformed the prison environment during their stay including cleaning the facilities and cells, gardening and even painting walls of the room they used for church meetings bright yellow and blue, according to Open Doors U.K.They are also credited with calming the women’s section, which previously was filled with quarrelling.On their release date, the women rode on a bus provided by Open Doors and were escorted by seven cars to the neighboring town of Cirebon to report to the prison administration office and obtain necessary documents for their release.During the imprisonment, the father of one of the women had passed away.“It was a great loss to me, as we used to be very close,” Bangun said, according to Open Doors USA. “Had he been still alive, this is what he would tell me upon my release: ‘I’m very proud of you, my child, because you were jailed because of Jesus.’ It was a struggle to lose him, but I submit all to Jesus despite this grief.”To read more go to:
