Description: The Java Banyumasan are a subgroup of the Java ethnicity, who have a distinct dialect and culture. They live in the province of Central Java, along the interior of the southern coast.
Prayer Points:
• The major urban center of the Banyumasan is a city called Cilacap, where over 1 million live. Pray for spiritual breakthrough in this city and for a thriving urban church.
• Around 100 churches have been planted among the Banyumasan. Pray for their strengthening and growth, and for their protection from Muslim extremists.
• Over 80% of the Banyumasan are nominal Muslims, who are more influenced by animism than Islam. Pray for their protection from Islamization, and for the redemption of their traditional culture in the Kingdom of God.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the light of the gospel permeate every dimension of Banyumasan society. Let the powers of darkness be driven back among them in the name of Jesus.
Every year 74,000 Java Banyumasan die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
