Summary

Despite their geographic isolation, the Antankarana were conquered three times during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. They are mostly fishermen although those in the interior raise cattle.

Obstacles

On one occasion, when they were hiding from their enemies, a Antankarana king made a prayer, vowing that if his people survived the onslaught, they would embrace Islam. This vow was honored, and today the Muslim religion is evident among them, strongly intermingling with traditional Malagasy customs. This syncretistic and mostly nominal practice of Islam has inspired concentrated effort on the part of zealous Muslims to teach and give the prescribed doctrinal content.

How reach

The Antankarana people love music, the language of their hearts. Christian workers who also love music can work with them to produce music-based stories of Jesus.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Antankarana to receive God's mercy and find grace for help in times of need. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among Antankarana elders through dreams and visions, drawing them to Jesus Christ. Pray for Antankarana disciples to make more disciples. Pray for power encounters that will demonstrate the Lord's power and love.

Summary

Ngazidja are matrilineal, and it is customary for new families to locate close to the family of the wife. The fundamental social unit is the village or city neighborhood. Within the Ngazidja in Madagascar, loyalty to villages and relatives at home keep them somewhat separated from the local people. Perhaps most indicative of a certain breakdown, moral decline has led to a large number of sexually active Comorian teenagers.

Obstacles

The Comorians of Madagascar, including the Nagidja, are nearly all Shafiites, one of the most conservative of the four primary branches of Sunni Islam. Imams hold an important role in the Comorian religious experience. Nagidja people closely identify with

How reach

Local folk religions have a strong influence on the Ngazidja people. Charms, magic, trances, demon possession, and curses are an integral part of their religious practices. Christ bearers who know spiritual warfare can help them oppose unclean spirits and showing the power of the Lord.

Pray for p g

Ask the Holy Spirit to create a hunger for spiritual truth within Ngazidja hearts. Pray for God to send Christian teachers and medical teams to work among the Comorians. Pray that Christ followers in Madagascar will reach out and share God's love with the Ngazidja Comorians.

Summary

Many of the Comorians (people from the Comoros Islands) now residing in Madagascar initially came seeking better socio-economic conditions, while others fled their country during periods of political strife. Many university students from the Comoros Islands study in Madagascar. Some have Arab ancestry while others are a mixture of African people groups. Comorian life in Madagascar centers around commerce, with most families involved in some form of trading. Most Comorians follow Islam, with a strong emphasis on folk and animistic elements such as charms, magic and trances.

Obstacles

Spiritual opposition is common when presenting Jesus. Workers should be prepared for this, but not intimidated.

How reach

Though evangelism is prohibited in Comoros, Madagascar provides an environment where the gospel can reach this unreached people group. Christian believers in Madagascar can seize this opportunity.

Pray for church

There are no known followers of Jesus among the Comorians of Madagascar at this time. However, pray that those who will soon come to faith in Christ will have mature Christ followers to help them become established in the faith, so they can live out their faith and share it with others.

Pray for p g

Pray Comorians would be drawn to Jesus, the prophet who is much more than a prophet. Pray for a movement to Christ to stir among the Comorians in Madagascar.

Summary

The Bushi people originated in Madagascar, though most have migrated to the Comoro Island of Mayotte.

Obstacles

Fear of retaliation from wicked spirits and a lack of spiritual hunger keep the Bushi people away from the only Savior.

How reach

Believers from other parts of Africa can make an effort to disciple the Bushi people in the ways of Jesus Christ.

Pray for church

There are no followers of Christ among the Bushi people in Madagascar, so pray for them to be visited again and again by the Holy Spirit.

Pray for p g

Pray that believers in Jesus will be burdened to bring the gospel to the Bushi people. Pray that both the older and younger generations will see their need for Jesus. Pray for there to soon be a Disciple-Making movement among Bushi people in Madagascar. Pray for people's minds to be set free from the powers of darkness.
