Battle for Bali, The : The Story of Rodger and Lelia Lewis
Outline : "In the name of the Lord Jesus, I deliberately set my feet on the soil of Bali and claim it for Him." To that original faith claim, R.A. Jaffray later added, "The light of the gospel, preached by Sprit-filled missionaries, will drive out the millions of demons of darkness, and these people, enchained by the devil so long, will be set free," Rodger and Lelia Lewis were among those missionaries - and yes, demons were driven out and people were set free. But it was a battle. With religion intricately entwined into both family and culture, becoming a Christian often meant ostracization and economic isolation for the Balinese. At first, few responded, The struggle seemed to no avail. The Lewises often felt like they were living "within a yard of hell." A communist takeover of Indonesia also threatened. The "garbage" pit, dug by the family helper in their own backyard, was actually a grave-in-waiting for the entire Lewis family. Despite supernatural but evil manifestations on every hand and defiant opposition to the preaching of the gospel, Christ has built His Church on the beautiful isle of Bali.
