Around sixty years ago, my parents sailed (literally) from the US to the ends of the earth—the island nation of Papua New Guinea. They did this because they understood that God offers salvation to everyone and they wanted to give God’s Word to some who might otherwise never hear. Likewise, my husband and I answered the same call thirty years after my parents did, moving to Indonesia to share this good news. We understood that God planned from the very beginning to save all peoples, not just the Israelites.

At the time of the riots, my husband and I lived on Lombok and mentored a team of local church planters. In an effort to comfort them, I turned to Jesus's instructions to his fledgling disciples in Matthew chapter ten. Jesus is clear that their calling will involve risk. After all, they are like sheep among wolves.
