Description: The Pasemah are a cluster of related ethnic groups which speak central Malay on the island of Sumatra. It is believed that they migrated to Sumatra from Borneo due to the rich soil on the plateaus of the Bukit Barisan Mountain Range.
Prayer Points:
• Over 80% of the Pasemah are subsistence farmers, living in small rural villages. As a result, many young people have migrated to the city of Bengkulu for work. Pray for spiritual breakthrough in this city of 1.8 million and that many Pasemah might find Jesus as a result.
• The New Testament has been completed in the Pasemah language, as well as the Jesus Film. Pray that these resources might be widely distributed and used among them.
• There has been concentrated church-planting efforts among the Pasemah in the last two years. Pray for lasting fruit from these efforts and for the establishment of a strong indigenous church.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, the Pasemah were created to bring you glory. May they know and revere the name of your son Jesus.
Every year 6,000 Pasemah die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
