Wounded Shepherd Leads Flock – VOM/persecution.com
Four years after receiving injuries from the explosion of a bomb left by Muslims near a Bible school he attended in Palu, a Christian uses the blast incident to encourage others. A large piece of shrapnel struck Tadeus in his upper left thigh and he was taken to a hospital where Dr. Bert discovered he had a pulse in his left foot and could move his toes. After many long and complicated surgical procedures, Tadeus is now walking on both his legs without the use of crutches. He is currently shepherding his own flock of believers in the dangerous Ambon area, where he is faithfully leading Muslims to Christ. Give thanks and praise to God for His faithful servant, Dr. Bert, and for the overcoming perseverance of Tadeus, bringing many Muslims into His Kingdom. Colossians 1:3-6
