Description: The Gorontalo are a Malay people who live on the island of Sulawesi. They converted to Islam in the 16th century and are highly observant of their faith.
Prayer Points:
• The Gorontalo are on the verge of experiencing a church-planting movement. Pray that indigenous leaders and church-planters might be raised up to reach every community of the Gorontalo.
• The Gorontalo language is the parent language of many people groups on Sulawesi, who speak related languages in the Gorontalic family. Pray that God would raise up workers from the emerging Gorontalo church to reach the nearby and related peoples on Sulawesi.
• Under-development in the Gorontalo region has led to deforestation, malnourishment and high unemployment. Pray for Christian business investment in the region that will bring the values and purposes of the Kingdom in their midst.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, you sent your son to redeem the Gorontalo people and reconcile them to yourself. May your purposes for them become a reality in this generation.
Every year 9,000 Gorontalo die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
