The Mighty Eagle Foundation invited 600 wastepickers who live on landfills in the Bekasi surroundings 36 hours after the bombing at JW Marriot and Ritz Carlton Hotel. They had prepared for this event for a few weeks and despite the terrorist attacks 36 hours prior, they still went on with their plan. They have raised funds to buy rice and cooking oil to give out for free to the poorest of the poor of Indonesia, the wastepickers on landfills.
The people behind Mighty Eagle Foundation are mainly Christians from the new church JKI Mt. Tziyon which is located in Bekasi. There are still only a few people in this church but by God’s grace they have shown great compassionate acts to the poorest community in Bekasi for the past year.
The Christians in Indonesia have received what they call as prophecies by great church leaders of the world from different countries. It is said that Indonesia will arise and become a great blessing to the nations and open one of the many paths “from the ends of the earth back to Jerusalem” as prophecied in the Book of Isaiah.
Charismatic churches have held great events to share blessings with the communities through city-wide events such as ‘Semarang Berbagi Bahagia’ (Sharing Joy with Semarang) and ‘Bekasi Berbagi Bahagia’ (Sharing Joy with Bekasi). These events were held last year and were filled with games, parades and showering people with gifts and free food.
Indonesia maybe poor compared to so many developed countries but they are wonderfully passionate givers.
