Description: The Maranao are a Malay people, closely related to the Iranun and Maguindanao. The name Maranao means "people of the lake" refering to Lake Lanao, where most of the population is clustered around.
Prayer Points:
• Strong indigenous leadership is emerging among the Maranao church. Pray for unity of purpose and common vision among them that will result in whole extended families coming to Jesus.
• An underground movement has begun among the Maranao in Manila (Philippine capital). Pray for the expansion of this movement and for protection, both physical and spiritual, for those involved.
• Many Maranao believers often leave Mindanao due to persecution and relocate in Christian areas throughout the Philippines. Pray for courage among believers and a passion to see the church established among their people.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may your church be established among the Maranao, and may the powers of darkness be broken over them.
Every year 11,000 Maranao die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
