Did you know that Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands? It’s true! That’s a whole lot of islands, and a lot of people live there. Indonesia is the fourth most populated country in the world, and approximately 700 languages are spoken throughout the country. More than 500 of those languages don’t have any part of the Bible yet. That’s a lot of people waiting to learn about how much God loves them!

Mack and I want to share a delicious recipe for nasi goreng, or Indonesian fried rice. Try making it for dinner with your family sometime, and when you eat it, remember to pray for the many languages in Indonesia that need to get the Bible so that people can learn about Jesus.

Fried rice is best made with day-old rice that’s been refrigerated. If you don’t have that,

at least wait for the rice to become room temperature before adding to the skillet

for best results.
