How awesome is our God for the great selvation
Background information
“My name is Sadrak Nawipa; I was born in a little village called Paniai which is interior High land of West Papua. I am 23 years old. I am also one of the 43 West Papuan who came across the ocean by a traditional boat by earlier, back in 2006. I and my friends were targeted by Indonesia Military.
We were involving in University Student Human Right Activists who protest to the Government for its false Conducts that have been applying on and on in West Papua up to now, such as, Human right abuses, intimidation, exploitation, religious and racial discrimination, illegal log in, and one of the trend case conducting up to now is the Genocide system. This unfortunate system is has been establishing since its Government has integrated with West Papua. With the massive interest towards Natural resources of West Papua with the plot that destroy West Papuan which are Christian Communities in West Papua and make a the Land of Muslim which is the term known as “Islamizes”.
We were targeted by Indonesia Military which were in the draft of the targeted people Called (DPO) “Daftar pencari Orang. We were unsafe in West Papua, even though we were in our own home land, because of aggressive of its Military. A lot of our friends are in the jail now such as Yusak Pakage, Philip Karma, Selpius Boby and so ford. They have been sentenced forever in the Jail two of them had past away from the Jail. Some of them were run away to PNG and some of them are in Bush they are doing nothing although their statutes currently are University Student.
Due to those circumstances, collectively, we took a decision to come across to Australia to safe our selves while yelling and let International communities knows about what going on in West Papua particularly to Australian Community, because we were pretty, confidence that Australia’s Government might safe us in its Country.
“On the way to Australia we lost our truck on the mid of the Ocean for 4 (four) days, we did not eat any food or drink on the mid of the ocean as well. By the time that everyone was screaming and pray to God to asked his guidance to put us on the right path. And then after 4th days God was granted our prayers and gently, indicating us with a dark cloud to the Ground of Australia (“How awesome is our God”).
As we thought before, God was convincing to Australia Government and its Immigration Department and the end of the Immigration laws procession its Immigration Department under policy of Amanda, has granted us 43 Piece of Visas, which is temporary Visas valid for 3 Years. Moreover, we are also continuing to pray for our permanent Visa so it can be smooth it out by mighty of God.
Via this good opportunity and with the spirit of a dream of mine, when I was five years old , I have got a commitment, and a dream says that “One day in the future I will be a Missionary Pilot which is working with which field God is providing me to working. Nowadays I am in the field of the dream, but I do not know exactly, where to go. To fulfill and achieve my dream, I really, need God’s guidance.
Pray Points.
· As my Christian Communities in back in West Papua doing, I also verry much needed Internatiol christian communities’ prayer suppor in my Aviation studying, and our West Papua Free Movement, so it is can be going well.
· I’ve never forget to request a prayer point, please pray for West Papuan Christian Community who currently are under Dictator and pressure of the Indonesia’s Military. Because, couple of days ago, I have got an information form back home that, the number of Military in West Papua is accelerating without any proof diagnoses.
Finally, I am really thanks for your Prayers support; this is very valuable for me and my people back in West Papua as well!
God Bless you All.
