In Indonesia it is illegal to evangelise, but remains legal, though difficult, for Muslims and others to convert to Christianity. Christians who actively share their faith face persecution from Muslims, local governments and the community.

Muhammad Kace is an evangelist in an Indonesian prison for charges of blaspheming Islam on his YouTube channel. Kace’s lawyers succeeded in having his 10-year sentence reduced to eight years and are appealing to further reduce the sentence.

Despite suffering and being imprisoned for his faith, Kace has been supported by local pastors and VOM Australia, enabling his family to rent a home near the prison and providing Kace with essential medication and food during his imprisonment. Kace’s son, Febri, shared that he was a nominal Christian when his dad was arrested, but his father’s testimony has led him into a real relationship with Jesus.

In a video call with front-line workers, Kace praised God and shared about his ministry in prison to the guards and others he interacts with
