Christians in Indonesia Beheaded and Burned Alive in Attack

December 3, 2020 by Staff

(Open Doors) The violent darkness of persecution surfaced in an Indonesian community in the Central Sulawesi province on Friday morning, November 27, when Islamic extremists viciously attacked a remote Christian village, leaving a trail of destruction and grief.

The details are difficult to report and read. In one day, four men—all leaders of families and the small community—were dead. Our Open Doors partners tell us that three men were violently beheaded; another was burned alive in his house. Armed with knives and guns, eight to 10 men from the Islamic terrorist group East Indonesia Mujahidin (MIT) entered the village around 8 am. They torched and destroyed six other homes, a makeshift church and a Salvation Army outpost—leaving 13 families grieving and traumatized in Lemban Tongoa village.
