Mission Network News: At a time when Christian humanitarian groups are being asked to leave Indonesia, International Aid is being asked by the government to stay.
International Aid's President Myles Fish says they received a letter of invitation from the minister of health in Indonesia to remain in Banda Aceh to help them construct a medical equipment repair facility and training facility.
International Aid doesn't keep their focus on Christianity a secret. Fish says, "The government knew who we were, what we stand for and what we intend to do. But, it's because we're appropriate in how we do it. They know that we are Christians. We're there trying to demonstrate Christ's love in the hope that we can build the relationships that are necessary for us to actually articulate our faith in Christ."
And, they've been able to do that since day one because, according to Fish, eternal questions have been at the forefront of the people's minds since the December tsunami.
