Summary

In Malaysia, people are classified as Malay by the federal constitution if they speak their national language, Bahasa Malaysia, practice Malay customs, and are Muslim. The Malay are seen in all levels of Malaysian society. There are urban Malays who are well educated and hold white collar or government positions. There are also rural Malays who occupy jobs such as farming, trading, logging and fishing. The Malays need the opportunity to hear that Jesus is the only way to salvation. The Malay embrace the Islamic religious system yet engage in spiritual compromises. Although Islam forbids the use of a shaman or witch doctor, many Malays seek their services when experiencing difficult situations.

Obstacles

Currently, there are harsh laws against telling Malay Muslims about Christ. There are Christians in Malaysia, but the Malay Muslim community regards evangelism as a serious threat.

Pray for p g

Pray that Christians living in Malaysia would share the gospel with Malays, no matter the cost. Pray that each Malay person would have the opportunity to hear the good news in a culturally understandable way. Pray that Malay Bibles would be made available and reach seeking Malays. Ask the Lord to raise up Malay disciples who will disciple others.

Summary

As descendants from the Minangkabau people from West Sumatra, Indonesia, the Minangkabau of Malaysia have a distinct culture and their own royal line that dates back several centuries. The Minangkabau highly honor their women, as they pass their names and property through the mother. The Minangkabau are devout Muslims in spite of their matrilineal heritage. The practice of female inheritance and prohibition of polygamy draws criticism from more orthodox Islamic people groups.

Obstacles

Malaysia does not provide easy access for Christian workers, and the Minangkabau are devout Muslims.

How reach

The people feel that their culture is in danger of dilution by outside influence. Efforts to share the gospel with them will need to be very sensitive to the preservation of this culture.

Pray for church

Although there are likely no followers of Jesus Christ among the Minangkabau at this time, pray for the preparation of their hearts to receive those who will need to come with attitudes of patience and sensitivity.

Pray for p g

May the unique culture of the Minangkabau be preserved and blessed as a culture designed by a compassionate God. Pray for preservation of the culture while accommodating the truth personified by Jesus. Pray that Jesus would stir the hearts and minds of all Minangkabau people in Malaysia.

Summary

The Mamak live a simple life. They are not attracted to technology or education, and most live in settlements that are spread throughout rubber tree forests. Most Mamak people fuse animistic and Islamic beliefs. They believe in spirits that inhabit various places and things and they believe that ancestral treasures, such as a keris (a ceremonial knife), certain weapons and clothes, have magical powers. The Mamak believe that they are descended from one of the nine children of Adam and Eve. The duty of those involved in leadership is to rule on social conflicts, divorce and carut (accidentally or wrongly saying things that hurt other persons).

Obstacles

Malaysia is trying to get tribal peoples to become Muslim, and Christian work among them is not welcome.

How reach

There is a need for faithful prayer warriors, pounding the gates of heaven for the Mamak people. Pray the Lord will raise up prayer warriors for this purpose.

Pray for p g

The Mamak have a variety of needs. Their most urgent need is the establishment of a healthier living environment and better healthcare. They also need teachers and help with their educational facilities. Pray for a movement to Christ among them in Malaysia.

Summary

The West Coast Bajau of Sabah, Malaysia have traditionally been known as sea nomads, dwelling in boats and engaging in maritime trading. While some Bajau continue to derive their livelihood primarily from the sea, others have adopted an agrarian way of life.

Obstacles

The Bajau are staunchly faithful to Islam. They believe that to be Bajau is to be Muslim.

How reach

Scriptures and Christian resources are not available in their language. A Bajau radio station broadcasts daily, and Christian radio broadcasts could prove effective in reaching them.

Pray for church

Pray that followers of Christ in surrounding communities would share the gospel with the Bajau.

Pray for p g

Pray that the love of Jesus Christ would touch these masters of the sea in such a way that there would be a spontaneous church planting movement.

Summary

Nepal, which is located between two giant nations, China and India, is a small land-locked country. Economically, Nepal is considered one of the least developed countries. Therefore, a considerable number of Nepalese work abroad due to the lack of employment within the country. The Nepalese migrant workers are people from Nepal who have come to Malaysia, especially urban areas, to earn more income. Most of the Nepalese who go abroad are educated males from middle class families.

Obstacles

Like other vulnerable migrant workers, Nepalis in Malaysia are often too busy trying to survive to think about spiritual matters.

How reach

Many Nepalese are cheated and exploited by manpower agencies who take away a large amount of the workers' earnings in illegal deposits or commissions. Christ followers can come to their aid, paving the way for these Hindus to experience the goodness and mercy of the Lord's people.

Pray for p g

Pray for Nepali followers of Christ to share his ways with those in Malaysia. Pray for the Nepali people in Malaysia to have a desire for spiritual truth that will lead them to the cross. Pray for many to find the Savior and tell of his glory to other Nepalis.

Summary

The Tausug are also known as Suluks or Sulu in Sabah. In the past, the Tausug made their living as pirates but now rely on farming, fishing, and livestock production. Sunni Islam is the majority religion of the Tausug. Despite the influence of Islam, they retain some of their animistic beliefs and practices associated with the spiritual world. Their view of life after death mixes Islamic beliefs with non-orthodox beliefs in spirits. They believe that a person has four souls which leave his body when he dies. The body of the deceased goes to hell, where the punishment of his sins will be revealed according to his wrongdoings while he was living.

Obstacles

Lack of workers and lack of prayer are two of the largest obstacles to the advance of the gospel.

Pray for p g

Pray for good quality Christian radio to be available in the Tausug language, in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia. Pray the people will learn of these broadcasts and will listen with understanding and faith to believe. Pray that the few Sulu Tausug Christians will fellowship together and will grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Pray they will be faithful witnesses for Christ to family and friends.

Summary

Many Buginese in Malaysia are landlords of large coconut and coffee plantations, while some are smallholders and fishermen. Buginese are also known to be excellent craftsmen, for example, building houses without using nails. Being proud of their self-image, many are active in reviving their culture, language and heritage, though many younger ones cannot speak their language anymore due to assimilation into the Malay community through intermarriage. However, some customs remain highly esteemed; for example, those who serve should not turn their backs on those who eat, and no one should leave the dining area until the entire meal is finished.

Obstacles

Pride is a hindrance to repentance and freedom in Christ. There are currently no Buginese Christ followers in Malaysia to show them the way to the cross and the empty grave.

Pray for p g

Pray for doors of opportunity to bless the Buginese by helping them preserve their unique culture designed by their creator. Pray for a massive movement to Christ among the Buginese in Indonesia and Malaysia. Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to the Buginese.

Summary

One cannot see a physical difference between the Malay and the Thai. They have similar, but different cuisines, both of which include much spice and coconut milk. They share the Malay language, though the Thai speak their own language at home. The biggest difference you would notice is religion. The Malay are Muslim, and the Thai are Buddhist. The Thai in Malaysia tend to live near a Buddhist temple (wat) where they join other Thai people for religious and cultural events that reinforce their identity as Thai. The Buddhist monks are instrumental in preserving this identity.

Obstacles

Buddhism is central to their identity, and the Thai will seldom consider the claims of Christ to be for them.

How reach

There are hundreds of churches in Malaysia that can reach out to the Thai minority.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to give the Thai in Malaysia a huge rice harvest this year as a testimony of his sovereignty and lovingkindness. Pray that Thai Buddhists will understand that Jesus Christ is for all nations, including theirs. Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to the Thai in Malaysia. Pray for an unstoppable movement to Christ among the Thai in Malaysia.

Summary

Telugu speakers in Malaysia have now shifted from rural areas to the urban centers. Due to their emphasis on education, many Telugu have moved up the social ladder from their modest beginnings in plantation work. Today, most Telugu are literate and educated. Many Telugu are professionals and have middle level occupations in commerce, the government service, and other professions. Very few families fall below the poverty level. The caste system is dying out with each new generation of Malaysian Telugu, partly due to intermarriage with other Indian and Malaysian groups. Some of the old Telugu customs seem to have been lost with time and assimilation into Malaysian society, though they still have a distinct culture and language.

Obstacles

Hinduism might be one cultural characteristic the Telegu speakers want to keep. They have lost most other things in multi-cultural Malaysia.

How reach

There are thousands of Christ followers in Malaysia who can reach out for Christ to the Telegu speakers, including some who speak that language!

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to thrust out loving and committed workers to the Telegu speakers in Malaysia. Pray for Telegu speaking disciples to make more disciples and plant churches. Pray for spiritual hunger.

Summary

Rohingya refugees flee the violent oppression of the government in Myanmar. Some of them wind up in deadly jungle camps, where women are commonly raped, and all Rohingyas risk being killed, even the children. Others are trafficked and wind up as virtual slaves on fishing boats. Most of the Rohingyas are hoping to relocate to Malaysia. Malaysia is a Muslim majority nation where they expect better treatment. But they must go through southern Thailand on the way, leaving them vulnerable to human traffickers, and Thai government officials who suspect them of aiding Muslim insurgents on their southern border.

Obstacles

The Rohingya people are almost all Sunni Muslims. Their hope is in the teachings of the Koran and the Hadith, not in the person of Jesus Christ.

How reach

There are many believers in Malaysia who can employ Rohingya refugees or teach them job skills that will help them to adjust to their new home.

Pray for church

There are no known followers of Christ among the Rohingya people in Malaysia. Pray this will soon change.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Rohingya people to find safe refuge in Malaysia and other nations. Pray for them to find jobs and schools where they can flourish. The Rohingya people have very little chance to hear that Jesus Christ offers them much more than they could ever imagine. Pray for the Rohingyas in Malaysia to be reached by the Lord through dreams, visions, and through Christian materials on the Internet. Pray for a disciple making movement among the Rohingya people in Malaysia that will reach those living in Myanmar.

Summary

Most Aceh people live on the northern tip of Indonesia's island of Sumatra in Aceh Province. In the 21st century, there have been a couple of times when Aceh people have fled to Malaysia. This has either been because of civil unrest and the resulting marshal law, or because of natural disasters. Some Acehnese are able to find low-paying jobs as construction workers and venders in Malaysia, but a large number of them cannot find work. They are at risk of being trafficked into slave-like conditions. Those who find work are expected to send money back to their families in Indonesia.

Obstacles

Known throughout Indonesia as devout followers of Islam, the Acehnese are very proud of their Muslim faith. Their devotion to Islam has sometimes led to militancy and violence against the Indonesian government, which has resulted in mayhem and death in their homeland.

How reach

Believers can find creative ways to hire Acehnese men. Through their interaction they can share Christ.

Pray for church

There are no known Acehnese believers in Malaysia. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among them.

Pray for p g

Pray for Chinese and Indonesian believers to help them gain work skills that will allow them to earn a good living. Pray for the Holy Spirit to break through to Aceh people so that they will forsake the darkness and seek the One who is the Light of the World. Pray for a church planting movement among Aceh people in Malaysia that will spread to those living in Indonesia.

Summary

In Myanmar, Hindi speakers have set up Indian spice shops, video stores, and small businesses in urban settings. They are commonly working in the tech industry, as engineers or in the medical profession. A smaller number of them have low-paying jobs in Indian restaurants or as construction workers. In diaspora, Hindi speakers are losing some of their South Asian ways. They often wear Burmese style clothes. Many every kind of meat except beef. Though it is still common to have an arranged marriage, these people often select their own spouse from internet sources. Others choose their own spouse with parental approval.

Obstacles

The Hindi speaking diaspora needs to find a new love—a love for Jesus Christ, the one who offers them life to the full. As it stands, most are satisfied with religion.

How reach

There are many Hindi language Christian resources. They can download them from anywhere the internet is available.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Hindi speakers in Malaysia to have hearts that are open to the abundant blessings of Jesus Christ. Pray for Hindi families to prosper financially and spiritually as they experience a relationship with Jesus Christ. Pray for a movement to Christ among Hindi speakers that will spread joy, peace and salvation to other peoples. Pray for the leaders of the Hindi speakers in Malaysia to have a spiritual hunger that will drive them to the empty grave.

Summary

Most Indian migrant workers living in Malaysia come from Tamil Nadu villages in southern India. These Indian migrant workers are scattered throughout Malaysia. Many workers are educated and literate, while others are illiterate. Those who are educated have received a secondary to a university level education. Most of the Indian migrant workers are married and have left their families behind to seek employment opportunities since there is a lack of job opportunities in India. They come with the promise of employment and are willing to make this sacrifice with an expectation of sufficient earnings to support their family back home. Most Indian migrant workers are male.

Obstacles

Hindus fail to see how one God can be high above the others. They need to experience his glory.

How reach

Christ followers from other Indian communities in Malaysia can take Christ to these Hindus.

Pray for p g

Pray that more believers in Malaysia will take an interest in migrant workers. Pray for more of those who will love them in Christ and are willing to care for the personal needs of these workers. Several businesses have responded by addressing the medical and dental needs of some of these workers. Pray that this might continue and grow. Pray for Christian believers to have a burden to help people who are going through these crises in their lives.

Summary

In 1350, sailors saw a glimpse of light around an island in South East Asia and named it Bawean, from a Kawi phrase meaning, "having the sunlight." The island is home to the Bawean people. Bawean also live in the neighboring country of Malaysia. The Bawean are majority Sunni Muslims with some influence from traditional local beliefs. Many grow rice, maize and coconuts for a living.

Obstacles

Sharing the gospel with Muslims in Malaysia is very challenging; the government equates focusing on Christ as lord with "converting" out of Islam.

How reach

Many Bawean people live in Singapore, where there is freedom of religion. Perhaps Christ followers can reach out to the Bawean in Singapore first, and new Bawean believers can take Christ to their people in Malaysia and Indonesia.

Pray for p g

Pray that the love of Christ would be experienced and embraced by the Bawean people. Pray that the Bawean would understand they can be adopted into the kingdom of light. Pray for believers in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore to shine Christ's light to those around them. Pray that there would be a movement to Christ among the Bawean.

Summary

Iranians living in Malaysia is a new phenomenon. Most of them have gone there in the years since the 1979 Iranian Revolution turned Iran into a Shi 'ite Muslim theocracy. There was a large Iranian movement to Malaysia after the election scandal and crackdown on demonstrators in 2009.

Obstacles

The Malaysian government tries hard to keep Muslims from "converting" to other religions. Iranians in Malaysia usually shy away from any form of religious control.

How reach

Believers in Malaysia can make friends with Iranians and lead them to the cross.

Pray for church

Pray for Iranian believers in Malaysia to be safe and to grow in their relationship with Jesus.

Pray for p g

Pray for a harvest of the Persian people in Malaysia. Pray the Lord would meet Iranians in Malaysia in supernatural ways where missionaries cannot go. Pray that the disciple making movements that have begun in Iran will extend to the Iranians in Malaysia.

Summary

Jakuns are believed to have lived in Peninsular Malaysia for 7,000 years and are one of the Orang Asli ("original people") groups. They traditionally hunt game with blowpipes and poison-tipped darts and gather fruit and forest products for barter. Some are farmers. Jakun have intermarried with Malays, Chinese, Senoi, and Semang, and tribal boundaries have become blurred. The Jakun bomoh or witchdoctor is both feared and respected in their society. He deals with the spirits in each Jakun village and is more influential than the village chief. If questioned on their religious beliefs, some Jakun who have considerable contact with the Malay would say that their god is Allah.

Obstacles

Many Jakun communities are in a state of transition. They have largely given up hunting and foraging for food to rely on agriculture for survival. Some will need educational and agricultural assistance during this transition period. There are few, if any, Christians who are helping them make this essential transition.

Pray for p g

Please pray for community workers to aid them in this process. Pray for the Jakun culture to be renewed and enhanced by a work of the Holy Spirit and shaped into a God-centered and God-honoring mold. Pray for the Holy Spirit to move among Jakun family and community leaders to seek His face and enjoy his blessings. Pray that soon the Jakun will have faith that will lead them to live honorable lives that will draw others to the Savior.

Summary

Most Mandailing people are wet rice farmers. A Mandailing person who leaves home will look for land and a house as expressed in the proverb "halului anak halului tana" (children and land). Children and land are viewed as sources of personal pride (sahala hasangapon) that cause one to receive status and respect. Someone who successfully settles in another area is esteemed very highly. Mandailing villages are called huta. Traditionally, the huta leader holds control of the land and only gives permission to members of the village to work the land. Members who own land are only allowed to work it; they are not allowed to sell it without permission from the leader and a discussion with other community residents.

Obstacles

We know of no followers of Christ among the Mandailing people in Malaysia. Only a small number follow Christ in Indonesia.

How reach

There are vibrant Christian believers in other parts of Indonesia and Malaysia who can take the gospel to the Mandailing people.

Pray for p g

Pray for His kingdom to come and his will to be done among the Mandailing people in both Indonesia and in Malaysia. Pray for a movement of Mandailing households to study the Bible and accept the blessings of Christ. Pray for a spiritual hunger that will drive the Mandailing people to the arms of Jesus. Pray for workers who are filled with the fruit and the power of the Holy Spirit to go to the Mandailing people.

Summary

Most likely Gujarati missionaries from Indian introduced Islam to Malaysia prior to the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate in 1402. Gujarati traders also frequently visited the port of Malacca but did not settle there. Only in the late 19th century did the Gujarati who are mostly businessmen in textile trade, travel to Malacca to settle in Malaysia. This new community grew as more Gujarati came after World War II. There are approximately three thousand Gujarati living in Malaysia. Their trading broadly covers textiles to tea, palm oil, tin, rubber, cocoa, timber, and coffee. They can be found in other professions as well. Marriages are often arranged with Gujarati from other countries.

Obstacles

There are probably no Christ followers among the Gujaratis in Malaysia. Malaysia is primarily a Muslim country, which will help Muslim Gujaratis remain comfortable with their religion.

How reach

There are vibrant Christ followers from other parts of South Asia living in Malaysia. They can be Christ's hands and feet.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Holy Spirit to give boldness to Christians in Malaysia to reach the Gujaratis and Malay Muslims with the gospel. Pray for Gujarati disciples who will make more disciples. Pray for Muslim Gujarati elders to have dreams and visions of the victorious, risen Christ.

Summary

Unlike other Hindu South Asian groups in Malaysia during the 19th century who worked in civil administration or plantation work, the Sindhi community had a well-established recruitment agency in Sindh, which employed Sindhi to work with Sindhi firms all over the world, including Malaysia. The Sindhi in Malaysia venture into real estate, electronics, departmental stores, entertainment, food, jewelry, and of course textiles and tailoring. The younger generation is moving into professions such as medicine, engineering, law and accounting. Marriages are often arranged with Sindhi from other countries.

Obstacles

Hindu Sindhis often don't connect with others socially.

How reach

There are many vibrant Christ followers in Malaysia who can take the only Savior to the Sindhi Hindus.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers. Pray for Hindu Sindhis to experience and embrace God's glory and goodness. Pray for spiritual hunger among the Sindhis in Malaysia.

Summary

Since 1976, a few Burmese doctors have served in Malaysia on a contract basis. The Burmese in Malaysia are usually refugees, but some come as cheap manual labor in this land that has a far higher standard of living than Myanmar. Some are victims of human trafficking. The Malaysian government has become overwhelmed with refugees, and they would like to send many of the Burmese back to Myanmar. Some of the Burmese who are not still directly involved in commerce work on plantations or produce food for sale. Other Burmese hold wage-paying jobs.

Obstacles

The Burmese are dedicated to Buddhism, and it is central to their identity.

How reach

Their animistic beliefs center around inherently evil spirits called nats. The Burmese spend their lives trying to appease the nats which Jesus Christ has already defeated. Christian believers who are familiar with spiritual warfare can demonstrate his power over these spirits.

Pray for p g

Pray for a "Book of Acts" type of movement to Christ among the Burmese people in Malaysia. Pray for the Burmese people to understand and embrace that Jesus wants to bless their families and neighborhoods. Pray for Holy Spirit anointed believers from the Burmese people to change their society from within. Pray for a movement in which the Holy Spirit leads and empowers disciples to make more disciples.

Summary

Sama-Bajau is a collective term, used to describe several closely related indigenous peoples who consider themselves a single distinct bangsa, or ethnic group. For most of their history, the Sama-Bajau have been a nomadic, seafaring people. However, today they have largely abandoned boat living, most now living in piling houses in the coastal shallows. In recent years, many of the Filipino Sama-Bajau have migrated to neighbouring Malaysia and the northern islands of the Philippines, due to the conflict in Mindanao. Sama-Bajau are generally regarded as peaceful, hospitable, and cheerful people, despite their humble circumstances. However, a significant number are illiterate, uneducated, and impoverished. The Sama are predominantly Sunni Muslims, but many still participate in religious practices that have been retained from traditional customs.

Obstacles

The literacy rate of the people in their language is given by the Ethnologue as 15%.

How reach

There are some Christians among the Sama-Bajau people in the Philippines. Pray these Christians will grow strong enough to effectively carry the gospel to all of their own people, in both the Philippines and Malaysia.

Pray for church

Pray for any Christians among the Sama-Bajau people in Malaysia to come to a clear understanding of what it means to be a real disciple of Jesus Christ. They will probably need teachers to help them in this way.

Pray for p g

Many of the Sama-Bajau people live below the poverty level. They need help especially in the areas of health and clean drinking water. Better infrastructure in the areas of education and transportation are also needed.

Summary

Southern Sama settlements consist of densely clustered houses situated along well-protected stretches of shoreline. In some places, they build their homes directly over the sea, but in other places, they locate them along the beach front. If over the water, they are connected by planks or narrow bridges. Built on stilts one to three meters above the ground or high-water mark, houses usually have one rectangular room with an attached kitchen. Households are grouped into larger units called tumpuks (clusters), which are located near one another and are related by close kinship ties. Within the village, one household head is acknowledged as the tumpuk spokesman. The Southern Sama are known for their traditional dances, songs, percussion and xylophone music, dyed mats and food covers, and wood carvings. Wood carvings for graves are especially ornate.

Obstacles

Islam is a formidable obstacle to the gospel of grace.

How reach

Christ followers can go to them with culturally appropriate music.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Holy Spirit to give the Southern Sama people teachable and understanding hearts. Pray that a strong movement of the Holy Spirit will bring entire Southern Sama families into a rich experience of God's blessing. Pray for Southern Sama families to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to seek forgiveness, and to understand the adequacy of Christ's work on the cross. Pray for teams of believers to do sustained, focused prayer for the Lord to open the hearts of Southern Sama family leaders to experience God's blessing through a movement of family-based discovery Bible studies.

Summary

Most of the Sama Mapun live in villages with houses built on stilts. The villagers fish, mostly in all male crews, on a daily or overnight basis, returning to the village to eat and to sleep. Houses usually consist of a single room, raised on stilts one to two meters above the ground or high-water mark. Most have open porches or platforms on the front, which serve as common work areas. Kitchens are usually built on the back sides of the houses. Each Sama Mapun household has an acknowledged head, who is usually a man. He is the house owner and still actively engaged in making a living.

Obstacles

Religious obstacles, especially Islam, can pose a major problem for those who wish to take Christ to the Sama Mapun people.

How reach

Christ followers from other indigenous groups in Malaysia can be Christ's ambassadors among the Sama Mapun people.

Pray for p g

Ask the Lord of the harvest to send forth laborers to work among the Sama Mapun in Malaysia and the Philippines Ask the Lord to soften their hearts so that they will be receptive to the gospel. Pray for the effective use of the JESUS Film among the Sama Mapun. Ask the Lord to establish strong local churches among the Sama Mapun.

Summary

The Muslim Hui people who live in Malaysia originally lived in China. Many left China to establish businesses in Malaysia or to escape religious persecution after the communist takeover in 1949. Even though they share the Muslim faith of the majority of the Malaysians, the Hui are not seen as Malaysians because their family language and ancestry is Chinese.

Obstacles

The Malaysian government frowns upon trying to "convert" people to something other than Islam.

How reach

Radio and TV programs can bring the good news about Christ to the Hui. Hui university students who study in Malaysia can hear the gospel from campus ministries.

Pray for church

Pray that the few Hui believers in Malaysia would build relationships with other Hui and tell them the truth about Jesus. Pray that Hui Christians would have a sufficient number of Bibles and trained pastors.

Pray for p g

Pray that each Hui in Malaysia would have the opportunity to hear the gospel. Pray for rapid growth of followers of Jesus among the Hui in Malaysia in this decade.

Summary

The Western Cham are survivors from the Champa Kingdom. When the Vietnamese invaded their kingdom, the majority of Champa aristocrats managed to flee to Cambodia while the poorer ones remained in Vietnam. Some have migrated to Malaysia for work in construction, fishing and rice cultivation. Most of the Western Cham try to renew their contracts so they can earn relatively good wages rather than return to Cambodia.

Obstacles

The Western Cham are Muslim; this is their identity as a people. There is much family pressure to remain in the Islamic fold.

How reach

They have faced isolation, rejection and pain. They need the love, acceptance and abundant life Jesus offers. Christ followers can provide this gateway.

Pray for church

Ask God for Bibles in the Western Cham language and for people to take them to these Muslims in Malaysia and Cambodia.

Pray for p g

Ask God to touch their hearts, so they will crave fellowship with him. Ask God to help them realize they need a savior. Pray for the Lord to move in their communities during this decade.

Summary

While the Penan have taken up sedentary agriculture as their main livelihood, the change from their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle has been difficult. They still hunt wild animals and collect rattan, fruit and other food plants in the forests. Their diet includes fish and prawns from the rivers. They are generally gentle and soft-spoken. They are closely knit as a community, and they share whatever food they get from the forest. They cannot speak the national language and can neither read nor write their own language.

Obstacles

Many of the Penan people live apart from other ethnic groups. It might be difficult to reach them with the gospel.

How reach

However, there are some Penan Christ followers who can take the gospel to their families and villages.

Pray for p g

Pray for spiritual receptivity and discernment for those who hear the gospel. Pray for Penan Christian believers to share Christ with the others. Pray for the Lord to given them every chance they need to hear of the ways of Christ.

Summary

Semelai is literally translated, "man of the land." Archaeological evidence has shown that the Semelai have been natives of the land for more than 600 years. Apart from hunting and fishing, the Semelai also cultivate crops and collect jungle produce.The Semelai have a rich tradition of oral histories, folklore, and mythology. Story telling has long been an important genre of expression in Semelai culture. Numerous taboos govern the lives of the Semelai who believe in the existence of ghosts and spiritual beings. As in other Orang Asli cultures, dreaming is an important means of divination. Different kinds of people, spirits, or animals appearing in dreams have different cultural interpretations.

Obstacles

No scripture or other resources are reported in the Semelai language. The Gospel of Christ needs to come to them in oral form.

How reach

The Semelai have a tradition of story telling. Pray that workers trained in telling stories from scripture will be led by God's Spirit to these people.

Pray for church

Pray the Christians among the Semelai will be sent teachers to instruct them in the ways of God, so they will grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. They need helpers so they will understand and apply the truths of scripture.

Pray for p g

The Semelai people are fortunate to find a safe haven in the wetland sanctuary of Lake Bera. However, they need to adjust to their new surroundings.

Summary

The island of Bali is probably better known than the country of Indonesia. The word "Bali" brings to mind visions of a tropical paradise. Its beauty, friendly people, exquisite art and unique culture have made Bali a favorite destination for millions of tourists from around the world.

Obstacles

Balinese people reside on this "island of the gods." Many Balinese people also live on the nearby islands of Lombok, Lampung, Sulawesi, South Kalimantan, Sumbawa and Papua, as well as in Malaysia, a beautiful country near Indonesia.

How reach

There are no known believers among the Balinese in Malaysia. Close-knit societies make it especially difficult for a member to find their way to the cross.

Pray for church

There are resources in the Balinese language, including a complete Bible. Perhaps Malaysian believers from other people groups will be burdened to take Christ to the Balinese people.

Pray for p g

Pray that Balinese elders in Malaysia would experience dreams and visions of Jesus that will open their hearts to him.

Summary

About 600 Kukos people live on Cocos Island that is south of Java, but over 5,000 lives in Malaysia. Most of them live in a village called Kampung Cocos in Sabah, Malaysia.

Obstacles

The majority of the Kukos people are Muslim. There may be resistance to attempts to share the gospel.

How reach

Perhaps believers could create a micro-business that would benefit these Muslim neighbors as they simultaneously share Christ with them.

Pray for church

There are no Kukos followers of Christ in Malaysia. Pray this changes soon.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Kukos people to have the education and job opportunities that they need in Malaysia. Pray for a spiritual hunger among the Kukos people that will lead them to the Bible for answers. Pray for Kukos leaders to have dreams and visions that will open their hearts to Jesus Christ. Pray for a church planting movement that is defined by discipleship and love for Christ.

Summary

The Sama peoples were originally from the islands and coastal areas separating southwestern Mindanao from the northeastern islands of Sulu. Today the Northern Sama are dispersed throughout the greater Sulu Archipelago, which extends from Mindanao Island in the southern Philippines toward Borneo. They are mainly in the Philippines though some live in Malaysia. Some have assimilated into Malaysian culture, attending schools and working in small businesses within local cities as vendors. The Sama are a highly fragmented people without overall political unity. Individual Sama groups, such as the Northern Sama, identify themselves by dialect and geographic location. One of these is the Balangingih.

Obstacles

There are currently no known Christ followers among the Balangingih Sama in Malaysia. Most of them are Muslim, following Sunni traditions while mixing them with elements of animism.

How reach

There are portions of the Bible written in Sama that can be distributed to them.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Holy Spirit to give the Balangingih Sama people teachable and understanding hearts. Pray that a strong movement of the Holy Spirit will bring entire Balangingih Sama families into a rich experience of God's blessing. Pray for Balangingih Sama families to be drawn by the Holy Spirit to seek forgiveness and to understand the adequacy of Christ's work on the cross.

Summary

Orang Kuala means "People of the river mouth", but the Orang Kuala call themselves Duano. They are admittedly peaceful folk. Only a small percentage complete their secondary education. Most make their living by fishing, but some are farmers. Racial prejudice by neighboring ethnic groups has caused some of the Orang Kuala to feel ashamed of their ethnic origins. They converted to Islam during the 19th century, yet many orient their daily personal and communal lives around traditional animistic practices. A fisherman who dares to cast a net during the rainy season without performing the prescribed ritual inevitably suffers. The only cure lies in exorcism and appeasement of the spirits. Pre-Islamic religious beliefs and rituals have been harmonized with Islamic law.

Obstacles

There is no scripture reported as available in the Duano language. However, the people are shifting to the Malay language, and there are many resources in the Malay language. The literacy rate in the Duano language is nearly zero, and the literacy rate in Malay is about 50%.

How reach

Please pray that Christians in nearby people groups will be prompted to take the Gospel to the Orang Kuala people. Pray that any tribal hostilities will not stop them.

Pray for church

There are no reported followers of Jesus among the Orang Kuala.

Pray for p g

Educational and economic development is spreading throughout the land of Malaysia. Like many of the other Orang Asli groups, however, the Orang Kuala are lagging behind because they are not attracted to education or technology.

Summary

The Sonsogon people are in the process of having major changes come to their villages. In 2015, there was a sanitation project which brought them clean water and toilets. In 2017 there was a logging road built to connect their villages with the rest of Malaysia.

Obstacles

The primary religion practiced by the Sonsogon people is ethnic religion. Ethnic religion is deeply rooted in a people's ethnic identity and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation.

How reach

Believers can join Sonsogon people as they work to improve their infrastructure. In the process, they can earn the right to be heard when they tell stories of Jesus.

Pray for church

Pray that the few Sonsogon people who follow Christ will lead others to Him through their example of living holy, victorious, loving lives.

Pray for p g

Pray for justice and mercy to flood Sonsogon villages as they have greater dealings with outsiders. Pray for these people to find Jesus to be their ultimate shield from the spirit world. Pray for a spiritual openness among the Sonsogon people when they come in contact with Christian missionaries. Pray for a disciple making movement to spread to all their villages and transform them for the better.

Summary

The majority of them live on Kalimantan, Indonesia, but that island is shared with Malaysia. A small number live on the Malaysian side of the island. The Banjar are friendly and non-threatening. They speak a local Malay language called Banjar, and they easily understand the Malay language. The Banjar are mostly rural, living in villages located either along the coasts or along roads. They build their houses on stilts, with roofs made of thatch. Houses of the wealthier Banjar have plank floors and tile roofs. The typical Banjar household consists of a husband and wife and their children. Marriage and inheritance are governed by Islamic law.

Obstacles

There are ancient spiritual strongholds that keep the Banjar from putting their faith in the one who walked out of the grave on Easter.

How reach

There is a daily prayer effort for the Banjar. God will use this “incense” to move Banjar hearts to the King of kings.

Pray for p g

Pray for hundreds more to join the daily prayer effort for the Banjar people. Pray for spiritual hunger among the Banjar that will give them the will to embrace Jesus Christ, and him crucified. Pray for a powerful movement to Christ among the Banjar people. Pray for God to strengthen workers among the Banjar people.

Summary

The Jah Hut are a group of unskilled workers scrounging these days for a living in Malaysian society. They usually work on a contract basis or as pieceworkers. They are often cheated out of portions of their earnings. Their main festival is the "Day of the Spirits" where offerings are made to the spirits to avoid ill fortune. The Jah Hut witchdoctors and magicians play important roles in healing sicknesses and dealing with spiritual matters. They are one of the non-Muslim Orang Asli people groups who practice circumcision.

Obstacles

The literacy rate is low among the Jah Hut, and oral instruction in the faith is needed.

How reach

Perhaps the Jah Hut Christians will become strong enough in the faith to effectively evangelize all of their own tribe.

Pray for church

There are Christians among the Jah Hut people. Pray these Christians will grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Pray they will live holy and joyful lives.

Pray for p g

Developers are taking away land, trees and forest produce that the Jah Hut people formerly relied on, and they have few skills. Pray they will see the importance of educating their children.

Summary

Narom is a language more than a people group. There are two dialects of this language. Narom speakers live in Sarawak, a state of Malaysia on the island of Borneo. They have survived raids by some neighbors and wars with others. Yet they have managed to earn their living through trading with other tribes, even when Chinese traders could have taken over their trade routes. The Narom people managed to survive by cementing alliances through marriages.

Obstacles

It is very hard for Muslims to consider the claims of Christ, especially when their social and economic well-being is tied up with being in good standing with the Islamic community.

How reach

There are believers from many tribes on Borneo who can go to the Narom people with the gospel.

Pray for church

Pray that the few believers among the Narom people will draw others to His Kingdom through acts of love and kindness.

Pray for p g

Pray that the Lord will "invade" the Narom speaking communities, if needed through dreams and visions. Pray for a spiritual hunger among the Narom that will lead them to the cross. Pray for disciple making movements to break out in Narom speaking communities.

Sinhalese, mainly jewel merchants, began migrating to Malaysia as early as 1890. Many of these early Sinhalese immigrants returned to Sri Lanka after earning enough money. Today, there are less than 800 families bearing Sinhalese names living in Malaysia. With the number of mixed marriages with Indians and other Malaysian communities, the number of Sinhalese continues to decrease in Malaysia. The majority of Sinhalese prefer to use English and Malay despite efforts of the older generation to maintain their mother tongue. With the exception of ceremonial functions, Western clothing is becoming the norm among Sinhalese in Malaysia.

Obstacles

The majority of Sinhalese in Malaysia are Theravada Buddhist and the temple is the focal point of their social and religious activities. To turn away from the Buddhist religious system to most of them means turning away from their community.

How reach

There are Sinhalese believers in Malaysia who can reach their Buddhist neighbors. They can use Sinhalese language music and drama as a way to present the life of Christ in a familiar form.

Pray for church

Pray that Sinhalese believers would be filled with the fruit and the power of the Holy Spirit so they can be prepared to share him with others.

Pray for p g

Pray for spiritual openness to Jesus Christ on the part of Sinhalese Buddhists. Pray that Malaysia would become a central point for a Sinhalese movement to Christ this decade.

Summary

Nibong is the name of a language associated with one of the Punan peoples. There are at least 20 different Punan subgroups, one of which is Punan-Nibong. The Punan-Nibong tribe lives in Sarawak, Malaysia's northern portion of the island of Borneo. Other Punan peoples live in Brunei, Indonesia or other parts of Malaysia.

Obstacles

There are no gospel recordings, JESUS Films, or radio broadcasts in their language. Those who bring them the gospel will probably use a foreign language.

How reach

The Punan-Nibong people need believers who will go as Christ's ambassadors, and teach them marketable skills that they can use in Malaysia.

Pray for church

There are no believers among this tribal group. Pray this will soon change.

Pray for p g

Pray that the Punan-Nibong people will have dreams and visions of the Risen Christ that will lead them on a spiritual quest to find the Savior. Pray for spiritual openness and opportunities to hear the gospel. Pray for a Punan-Nibong church that is defined by love and obedience to Christ.

Summary

The Mah Meri (Mah meaning people and Meri meaning forest), also call themselves Ma Betisek, which means, "people with fish scales". Living in small wooden houses set in harmony with the surrounding forces of nature, the Mah Meri prefer to remain "forest people." Hence in their villages, life seems relatively untouched by modern developments. The Mah Meri are soft-spoken and trusting with a propensity to laugh in the face of adversity. They believe that humans, plants, animals, and even inanimate objects possess spirits, which interact with their daily lives. Their main festival is the Day of the Ancestors where offerings and rituals are made to their ancestral spirits.

Obstacles

Most Mah Meri probably have never heard of Jesus Christ. However, that may be helpful, since incorrect understanding will not have to be overcome.

How reach

Scripture has been translated into the Mah Meri language, even the New Testament, in 1933. Pray for workers who will be able to utilize scripture in this language to help the people understand the way of salvation.

Pray for church

There may be a few followers of Jesus today among the Mah Meri people of Malaysia. If there any, they need prayer support. Pray for their material needs as well as for spiritual needs.

Pray for p g

The physical needs of the Mah Meri are many. They are poor, lacking in proper health care and clean water. They live in dilapidated houses, and their children have very little chance of receiving a proper education. Ask for caring believers who can assist in meeting the physical needs. Pray also for local believers who will relate and respond to the spiritual needs of these people.

Summary

The Mirik Kayan people of Malaysia are sedentary rice and sago farmers who trade with other ethnic groups. Like other people groups in Borneo, they live in longhouses and hunt and fish. They are great craftsmen who are famous for making boats out of belian, a strong tropical hardwood. Kayan people are noted for their extensive tattoos and stretched earlobes.

Obstacles

There are no Christian resources in the language of the Mirik Kayan people, so anyone who tries to reach out to them will need to do it in a "foreign" language.

How reach

There are believers, even among their own people, who can take the gospel to the Mirik Kayan people.

Pray for church

Pray for believers among this people group to demonstrate supernatural love that will draw others to the Savior.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Mirik Kayan leaders to have dreams and visions that will give them the desire to find out more about Jesus and open their community to missionaries. Pray for believers to take Christ to this tribe. Pray for spiritual openness to the ways of Jesus. Pray for a disciple making movement to flourish among the Mirik Kayan people.

Summary

The Molbog are found on Banggi Island in Sabah, Malaysia. They are sometimes called Balabak in Sabah, a name that describes their place of origin - Balabac Island, located at the southern tip of Palawan in the Philippines. The greater population of Molbog people still resides on Balabac Island. The Molbog livelihood includes subsistence farming and fishing. Despite being strong followers of the Islamic faith, their faith is also associated with many indigenous interpretations and practices. The Molbog have a reputation among the Bonggi of being pugai specialists where pugai means "to put a love charm/spell on someone." Tausug traders in the past brought the Islamic faith that the Molbog people adopted as their own.

Obstacles

The Molbog people in Malaysia live on a fairly small island, and access to them may be limited.

How reach

Malaysia and the Philippines have a substantial number of evangelicals. Please pray for a growing awareness of their responsibility and opportunity to carry the good news about Jesus to tribal groups such as the Molbog.

Pray for church

It is unlikely there is a single follower of Jesus today among the Molbog people in either Malaysia or the Philippines.

Pray for p g

The Molbog people need to develop infrastructure such as modern sea transportation to help facilitate the selling of farm and fish products to neighboring places and markets. Those living in villages typically don't earn enough income for medical and educational supplies. Illnesses such as malaria are a concern to the people.

Summary

The Semoq Beri have a common understanding within their society that each group has its own territory. The boundaries are clearly defined and maintained through mutual respect and any access to resources is available on demand - for instance, rights to make a garden are acquired by felling trees. All types of subsistence activities are represented in Semoq Beri society - from hunting to slash and burn agriculture. Those living in government settlements are semi-nomads. Although less dependent on forest produce, they still hunt and fish regularly and collect some forest produce for trade (rattan, aromatic woods).

Obstacles

The Semoq Beri people are in danger of losing their culture and language. It will be hard for them to let go of their traditional religion.

How reach

There are some Christ followers among this people group that can take the gospel to their families and villages.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to thrust out loving workers to the Beri people. Pray for the Lord to use dreams and visions to get the attention of the Beri people. Pray for disciples to make more disciples in Beri villages.

Summary

The Bajau were once sea-nomads dwelling in boats, harvesting fish and other marine resources. These days, they have increasingly become land-dwellers. Increased opportunity for and appreciation of education has helped some Bajau secure positions in a variety of wage-earning jobs. Many Bajau have merged Islamic practices with their local traditions, such as the reading of Arabic prayers at the beginning of a traditional celebration. One such celebration is called the kenduri arwah, which is a feast practiced in honor of deceased family members.

Obstacles

The language of this people has very few speakers, and Christian resources may never be provided in this language.

How reach

Some people in this tribe speak the Malay language, and resources are available in Malay. Pray for workers to take these to the people.

Pray for church

There is no indication of any followers of Jesus among this small people group. Pray that neighboring Christians will become aware of the need for a gospel witness among this people.

Pray for p g

The Bajau communities need infrastructure development in the areas of health and education. More medical workers, facilities, and services are needed. Many of their youth do not complete their schooling. Pray that God would send people to help them with these health and education needs.

Summary

Tring is more of a language than an ethnic group. It is spoken by less than 1,000 people in Malaysia. Tring speakers live in Sarawak, a state in northern Borneo. Tring speakers live a simple existence. They farm, fish, and hunt for a living.

Obstacles

There are no Christian materials in the Tring language, which means that they must hear the gospel message in someone else's language.

How reach

Tring speakers need the opportunity to find ways to flourish in Malaysia's rapidly modernizing economy. Believers with the right skills can help them with this.

Pray for church

Pray that those who follow Christ among this people group will allow the joy, peace, and love of the Holy Spirit to shine through them.

Pray for p g

Pray for dreams and visions among Tring speaking people that will lead them to seek and find Christ. Pray for spiritual openness that will lead to the cross. Pray for many to come together to learn of and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. Pray for a powerful disciple making movement among Tring speaking people of Malaysia.

Summary

The Abai Sungai primarily reside in Sabah, Malaysia, and are concentrated mainly in one village. The primary occupation of this community is fishing.

Obstacles

There are no Christian materials in the Abai Sungai language, which means that they must hear the gospel message in someone else's language. That could make the gospel appear foreign to them.

Pray for p g

Pray for dreams and visions among Abai Sungai that will lead them to seek and find Christ. Ask God to grant spiritual openness among these Muslims so that many might come together to learn of and obey the teachings of Jesus Christ. Pray for a powerful movement to Christ among the Abai Sungai of Malaysia.

Summary

The Bateq are a people with little knowledge of their history. They are a nomadic foraging people who have a very low literacy rate and almost no formal tradition of storytelling. Traditionally, the Bateq lived in the rain forest in small, nomadic groups. They survive on a combination of hunting and gathering wild foods and trading forest products such as rattan and resinous wood for food, tobacco, and manufactured goods. Most of the Bateq who have settled down in permanent villages have converted to Islam. Generally, Bateq are animists who shun their own people who have converted to Islam. Their traditional religion is a complex set of beliefs and practices that connect them to their environment and fellow Bateq through relations with a group of deities that are associated with forces of nature (such as the thunder god).

Obstacles

The literacy rate of the Bateq is quite low and no resources such as scripture and Gospel recordings are yet available.

How reach

This very small people group can be easily overlooked by workers. There are a few Christians reported in the group, and they need workers who can help them grow in the faith.

Pray for church

Please pray those in this group who consider themselves to be Christians will understand clearly what being a Christ-follower means. Pray the Lord's Spirit will help them.

Pray for p g

Much of the Bateq's jungle homeland has been destroyed by unchecked development and logging activities. Pray that God will provide adequate resources to meet their physical needs. Pray for believers who live near Bateq villages to relate and respond to the needs of the Bateq.

Summary

There are at least three Berawan people groups. The Western Berawans have their own language. The Western Berawan people live on Borneo, a large island that includes parts of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Brunei. The people who speak the Western Berawan language live a very simple life. They are a tribal people who farm, hunt, and fish for a living.

Obstacles

These people need more non-printed gospel materials like the JESUS Film and gospel recordings.

How reach

There are many believers from a tribal background in Borneo who can go to them using music and skits to teach of the ways of Jesus Christ.

Pray for church

Pray that the few followers of Christ among the Western Berawan people will allow the Holy Spirit to guide their lives in such a way that others will be drawn to Christ.

Pray for p g

Pray for the JESUS Film to be dubbed into the language of the Western Berawan people. Pray for leaders of the Western Berawan people to open their hearts to the ways of Jesus Christ when missionaries come their way. Pray for a disciple making movement to flourish among this unreached people group.

Summary

The people who speak the Kejama language live in northern Borneo in Malaysia's Belaga District. They live in long houses. In 2016 they produced a picture dictionary to preserve their dying language. As the logging industry encroaches on their forested homeland, many Kejaman people are leaving their traditional way of life. Many are marrying out of the Kejaman community and joining other people groups.

Obstacles

The primary religion practiced by the Kejaman people is ethnic religion. Ethnic religion is deeply rooted in a people's identity and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation. These people are losing their language and culture. They are almost certain to feel hostility to those who try to change their religion as well.

How reach

The Kejaman people need believers to help them adjust to the modern world as their old ways die out.

Pray for church

Pray that the followers of Christ among the Kejaman people will shine with the light of Jesus so that their neighbors and family members will be drawn to Him.

Pray for p g

Pray that Kejaman leaders will have dreams of Jesus where the Savior reveals Himself to them. Pray for the Kejaman people to have a spiritual openness to Jesus during this time of great change. Pray for them to preserve their language and culture in their own churches. Pray for a disciple making movement to emerge among the Kejaman people.

Summary

The Siduan people speak a language called Situ Melanau. They are probably among the original inhabitants of Sarawak. By the 19th century, they were settled in scattered communities along the Rajang River in Sarawak. Not surprisingly, they were fishermen and boat builders.

Obstacles

There are virtually no Christian materials in the language of the Siduan people, which means that only those who speak Malay can hear of Christ's redeeming power. However, they are using the Malay language more and more.

How reach

There are believers from other parts of Borneo who can take the gospel to the Siduan people.

Pray for church

There are no believers among the Siduan people. Pray this will soon change.

Pray for p g

Pray that Siduan leaders will have dreams of Jesus where the Savior reveals Himself to them. Pray for the Siduan people to have a spiritual openness to Jesus during this time of great change. Pray for them to preserve their language and culture in their own churches. Pray for a disciple making movement to emerge among the Siduan people.

Summary

Semnam is more of a language than an ethnic group. Lanoh is the name of the people group that speaks this language. The Lanoh people are a small hunter-gatherer tribe in Malaysia. Tribes that live by hunting and gathering are becoming less and less common. It is hard to survive when other people groups have better tools for taking the resources that you need like wild game and wood.

Obstacles

The primary religion practiced by the Lanoh people is ethnic religion. Ethnic religion is deeply rooted in a people's ethnic identity and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation. Though the Lanoh people will have to face great changes in the years to come, they might be resistant to those who want them to change "religion," since their traditional beliefs are among the only thing they can keep in a changing world.

How reach

Believers can help the Lanoh people develop work skills that they will need as their traditional way of life is being taken from them.

Pray for church

There are no believers among the Lanoh people, so pray this will soon change.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to send His children to help them cope with drastic changes in their lifestyle. Pray that Lanoh elders in Malaysia will have dreams and visions of Jesus that will open their hearts to Him. Pray for spiritual openness among the Lanoh people. Pray for a disciple making movement among the Lanoh people in Malaysia.

Summary

The Lahanan people are a tribal group. Their numbers are diminishing, and there is a good chance that they will disappear as a people group in the next couple of decades. Lahanan speakers live in Sarawak, on the island of Borneo. It is part of Malaysia. Though their population is in the hundreds, there are two separate Lahanan communities because of a dispute. The Lahanan people live in long houses.

Obstacles

The primary religion practiced by the Lahanan people is ethnic religion. Ethnic religion is deeply rooted in a people's ethnic identity and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation. Believers who reach out to them need to understand that they are taking them Christ, not Christ plus a foreign culture. At this point in time, there are no Christian materials in the Lahanan language.

How reach

Believers from a tribal background can present stories of Jesus using non-verbal methods as much as possible. They can also help teach the people work skills that will prepare them for the changes that will soon come to their people.

Pray for church

Pray that the few Lahanan believers will draw others to the Lord through their lovingkindness.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to reveal Himself to Lahanan leaders in such a way that they will open the door to seeking Him. Pray for spiritual openness among the Lahanan people. Pray for a church planting movement that is defined by discipleship, love of the Lord, and obedience to His ways.

Summary

Malaysia. This language is being replaced by Malay, even in Belait District where it originated. The government of Brunei is building a museum in the Belait district to preserve this dying culture.

Obstacles

The Belait people are losing their identity as their language and culture gives way to the dominant Malay culture.

How reach

As it stands, there are no Christian resources in the Belait language. If there were gospel recordings in the dying Belait language, they could be distributed to those who speak this language.

Pray for church

There are no followers of Christ who speak the Belait language. Pray that this will soon change.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to visit Belait leaders through dreams, visions, and through His word. Pray for this people group to be drawn to the person of Jesus Christ. Pray for believers to find ways to reach these people in a way they can understand. Pray for a disciple making movement among the Belait people.

Summary

The Chewong believe in the existence of numerous evil spirits that can be kept away by building campfires. One spirit greatly feared by the Chewong is the bas, which they believe attacks the human soul for its food. There is no religious leader and any individual may use trance and chanting to communicate with the spirits. The deep forest areas constitute the Chewong's environment. The forest is a cool place that provides the basis for their subsistence and is a barrier for diseases. While some Chewong live near Malay villages, others still live deep in the rainforest and live off hunting, fishing, and collecting forest produce.

Obstacles

There is no scripture or other language resource reported in the language of the Chewong people. However, many people use Malay, and there are a wealth of resources available in Malay.

How reach

Perhaps Malay speaking believers will be led by the Lord's Spirit to the tiny Chewong tribe. Such a small tribe can be easily overlooked, and we need to pray they won't be overlooked.

Pray for church

There may be a tiny handful of believers among this tribe, but this is not certain. If there are believers, they need our prayer support.

Pray for p g

Development projects are taking away forested areas where the Chewong once thrived. Pray for adequate government protection for the environment that the Chewong live in.

Summary

Kanowit is a town and the capital of a district of the same name. The town takes its name from the Kanowit, a Melanau ethnic group. The Kanowit language is still spoken, and there still are some Kanowit people living in the Kanowit area. However, the language may be doomed to extinction. The village where Kanowit people live is called Kampung Bedil, a short trip by boat up the Rajang River from Kanowit town. There have been talks of relocating the village to another site as severe erosion of the banks of the Rajang River will soon wash away the remaining houses there.

Obstacles

The Kanowit are a tiny tribe and are losing their language. It may be difficult to even find them.

How reach

Gospel recordings are available in the language of the Kanowit. Pray for those who will take these to the people.

Pray for church

There may be a handful of Christians in the tribe, but this is uncertain. Pray for divinely appointed encounters between the Kanowit and believers who will recognize the opportunity to share the gospel with them

Pray for p g

Pray this tribe will be able to provide stable housing to replace housing in danger of being washed away by the Rajang river.

Summary

The Kensiu are an ethnic group living in Peninsular Malaysia, classified under the Semang (officially called Negrito) category. Racial prejudice from neighboring people groups has caused the Kensiu to avoid contact with outsiders. Attempts by the government to modernize the Kensiu have caused drastic changes to their traditional lifestyle, with the infiltration of alien belief systems and values. Many Kensiu find it difficult to cope and have found this transition traumatic. Although many do not believe in any god, they believe the presence of spirits resides in places like bridges, and graves, and trees.

Obstacles

The Kensiu are a tiny group, very insular, wary of outsiders and protective of their identity.

How reach

The Kensiu tribe needs Christians to befriend them, assisting them with literacy training and in other ways.

Pray for church

There may well be no Kensiu followers of Jesus today, but it's not too early to pray for those whom the Lord is calling to himself. Pray for the Kensiu in both Malaysia and Thailand.

Pray for p g

The Kensiu habit of nomadic living makes it difficult to reach them with education or skills training, but this is much needed. Pray for resourceful believers who will take the necessary time and make sacrifices to help this small, remote group of people.

Summary

As it stands, the Ukit people can easily die out unless they make major changes. There are so few people from this people group that it is likely to become extinct in the next couple of decades. They are intermarrying with other peoples. Most likely they will eventually blend in with the other peoples of Borneo.

Obstacles

There are no Christian materials in the language of the Ukit people.

How reach

The Ukit people need the opportunity to learn how to earn a living in the rapidly modernizing country of Malaysia. Believers who are willing to teach them new skills can act as Christ's ambassadors to this dying people group.

Pray for church

Pray that those who follow Christ among the Ukit people will allow the Holy Spirit to direct them, and use them to draw others to the Savior.

Pray for p g

Pray that Ukit leaders will have dreams of Jesus where the Savior reveals Himself to them. Pray for the Ukit people to have a spiritual openness to Jesus during this time of great change. Pray for them to preserve their language and culture in their own churches. Pray for a disciple making movement to flourish among the Ukit people.

Summary

Tonga is the language of the Mani people of Thailand and Malaysia. They look more like Africans than Asians. They have lived in what is Thailand and Malaysia for thousands of years. Though outsiders have given them a number of names, they prefer to call themselves "Mani" which simply means, "jungle dwellers." This people group is rapidly coming in contact with the outside world.

Obstacles

The primary religion practiced by the Tonga is ethnic religion. Ethnic religion is deeply rooted in a people's ethnic identity and conversion essentially equates to cultural assimilation.

How reach

Believers can teach marketable skills to the Mani people. They can also teach them how to fend for themselves and not have their land taken from them by unscrupulous individuals.

Pray for church

Pray that the few Mani people who know Jesus will exhibit joy, hope and love so that others will be drawn to the Savior.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to send His people to help the Manis adjust to upcoming changes. Pray for justice and mercy to prevail as the Mani people come in contact with modern society. Pray for them to learn the ways of Jesus, and use them to help them to flourish in the years to come. Pray for a Mani church that will be defined by discipleship and obedience to the teachings of Jesus.
