    "When people around the world sent millions of pounds to help the stricken Indonesian province of Aceh after the Boxing Day tsunami of 2004, few could have imagined that their money would end up subsidising the lashing of women in public. But militant Islamists have since imposed sharia law in Aceh and have cornered Indonesian government funds to organise a moral vigilante force that harasses women and stages frequent displays of humiliation and state-sanctioned violence." -SOURCE

    Be careful what you believe. I was personally in Aceh for 2 weeks this past year. And while the situation is not great and there is money being taken by groups that are not trying to help people there still remains a great deal of good going on in the aftermath of the tsunami.

    I personally witnessed a tremendous amount of good that is going on in this area and am continually updated by friends in the area of all that is going on each and every week. It is simply amazing!

    As in most things with the media all we hear about is the negative. There is a lot to be praising the Lord for in this region of the world. Please keep the people of this region in your prayers!
