Description: The Bugis are a Malay people, whose language (called ugi) is related to Makassar and other eastern Malay dialects. Their primary homeland is Southern Sulawesi, though for economic reasons many have been forced to scatter throughout SE Asia.
Prayer Points:
• Praise God for the availablity of the complete Bible in Bugis, as well as the Jesus Film, radio broadcasts (FEBC) and other evangelistic tools. Pray for the continual success of those missionary teams seeking to employ these tools for the advance of the Gospel and the Kingdom.
• The Bugis are organized in a hierarchical leadership structure including all the datu families at the top, then the pettas (next rank), ceras and puangs. Pray that they may surrender to the Datu of Datus!
• Several churches in Singapore have adopted the Bugis for prayer and outreach. Pray that God would grant them special grace to reach this migrant community which is now at their doorstep.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may your Word be the light that leads the Bugis home into your Kingdom.
Every year 55,000 Bugis die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
