JAKARTA (Worthy News) – A massive pileup of cars that miraculously killed only one person and injured dozens outside Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, Monday raised new questions about poor road conditions and reckless driving in the mainly Muslim Southeast Asian nation.

“If we watch the video, it is a miracle that only one died,” said church worker Victoria, who uses only one name.

According to witnesses, the accident occurred on the Cipularang Toll Road, dubbed the “devil’s road” by locals, which connects West Java province to Jakarta, at around 3:30 p.m. local time.

Police said the crash about 108 kilometers (67.1 miles) southeast of the capital was possibly triggered by “a semi-trailer truck whose brakes failed,” causing it “to collide fatally” with up to 23 vehicles ahead.

Victoria, a Christian involved in hosting a house church and village evangelism, knows the road well. “Every year, deadly accidents happen here. But this pileup was massive,” she told Worthy News.

At least one person was killed and some 30 injured, including four seriously, Worthy News established based on police and other sources. Several were rushed to West Java hospitals.

HEAVILY DAMAGED

Videos circulating online showed multiple vehicles piled up and some heavily damaged, with rescuers seen helping evacuate individuals from the wreckage.

It came about five years after a pileup involving dozens of cars at nearly the exact location left eight people dead, Indonesian media said.

Christians say deadly road accidents are common in Southeast Asian countries, mainly due to poor road conditions, reckless driving, as well as overloading cars.

According to official statistics, the total number of road traffic accidents in Indonesia was over 204,000 in 2022, with more than 27,000 deaths.

“Driving in Indonesia can be very scary,” Victoria said. “It can make our work challenging to reach villages where I want to help churches.”

The government has been pressured to improve infrastructure in Southeast Asia’s fast-growing and largest economy.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
