Indonesia | View Photos 2005, 2008 Nothing could have prepared the people of Indonesia for the devastation that the tsunami of 2005 brought. No words could take away the sting of disaster, but a courageous team of Evangelites went forth to put faith in action and help a community heal. Team Indonesia traveled to Banda Aceh, an area that suffered the most devastation. The talented team was able to provide electricity for over 3000 people in a village that had been without power for days. For the first time, the community was able to turn on the lights at night. Though the team was not allowed to preach the gospel, God always provides a way. He sent the workers to literally bring light in a dark place. In return, they continue to receive an overwhelming expression of appreciation and love because someone cared enough to sacrifice when the people of Banda Aceh were in need.
