Description: The Mandar are a Malay people living on the island of Sulawesi. They are related to the larger Bugis and Makassar ethnic groups, which have a strong influence on their culture and language.
Prayer Points:
• Mandar society is divided into three major classes. The nobility ( Todiang), the commoners (Tau Maradkia) and the slaves (Batua). Pray that redemption would come to this broken society through the love of Jesus and the freedom of the gospel.
• Mandar villages are governed by elders who serve in a council that elects a king. Pray that these leaders might experience the transforming power of Christ, and might be anointed by the Holy Spirit to lead their people in all righteousness.
• There are no full-time church-planters among the Mandar, but the Jesus Film has been dubbed in their language. Pray that God would raise up teams to use this resource throughout every Mandar community.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, the day of salvation for the Mandar is at hand. May the Lord of the Harvest send forth workers among them to bring them into your Kingdom.
Every year 4,000 Mandar die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
