189 people including crew aboard plane crash in Indonesia

An Flight 610 (Boeing 737 Max 8) from Lion airlines in Jakarta, Indonesia has crashed into the Java seas about 13 minutes after take off.. The airplane that crashed was only 2 months old. China Minsheng Investment Group Leasing Holdings LTD owned the plane and  had leased it to Lion Air. About 20 ministry staff was on the plane. Human remains, parts of the plane, and pieces of luggage have been pulled from the sea. It is feared that there are no survivors.

Pray for the victims, their families and friends. If you do not pray, please keep them in your positive thoughts. For those wanting to so more, call or write the Indonesia embassy. The address for the Indonesia Embassy  is 2020 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington, DC 20036 and phone number is 202-775- 5200.
