Siak
The Siak River
Traveling east from Pekanbaru along the Siak River, the scenery gradually changes from ugly industrial sites to beautiful fishing settlements amongst tropical rainforest. The people who live here are poor and rely on the river for their livelihood. The Siak River is the deepest river in Sumatra and it is common to see large tankers far upstream as well as small fishing boats. The tankers cause destruction to the riverbank because of the big waves they create, and this endangers those who live literally on the river's edge.
And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food.
Ezekiel 47:12 (NLT)
- Pray that the people of Riau Province would find ways to balance economic development and the needs of poorer people.
- Pray that the people who live along the Siak River would discover the source of eternal life.
