Christian Freedom International (CFI) has delivered more than twenty thousand pounds of medicine, cooking utensils, tools and clothing to residents on Nias Island. Ninety percent of the residents are Christian and many believe the Indonesian government has been discriminating against them because of their faith. The area was devastated by the December 2004 tsunami and the March 2005 earthquake. Christians in the area claim they are not receiving the same amount of governmental resources that places such as Banda Aceh are getting and they believe it is due to religious discrimination. CFI’s supplies are being distributed through local churches on Nias. (Assist News)
