This has affected me and my husband. We were ordered to leave Papua by someone high up in our organization. That required the Department of State to petition the Governor of Papua to give special permission. That has happened and a specially chartered flight took us from Papua to Jakarta. We had tickets to leave on the 28th of April.

So, we settled into a hotel room and were sound asleep. It had been an exhausting week since the order to leave, packing up the house, arranging care for our dog, and someone to occupy the house while away. In the middle of the night, this story broke. We spent two hours on the phone speaking with people who were drama queens about us knowing this information and rearranging flights. We cancelled tickets. We bought tickets. Done. We leave tonight at 11:40, twenty minutes before the lockdown goes into effect.

Good luck and more importantly, God’s speed on your travels.

Safe travels. Glad you got a flight “under the wire”.

If it is any consolation Greece doubled the fines for violating stay at home orders and travel bans for just four days—last Thursday through Sunday evening—in an attempt to suppress Orthodox Christian Pascha.

Seems as if “the kings of the earth” have turned against ALL religions...but Christianity especially.
