Description: Although the exact origin of the Minangkabau is unknown, their language is closely related to Melayu (Malay) and their mythology suggests they descend from intermarriage between Melayu immigrants and the indigenous peoples of West Sumatra.
Prayer Points:
• Divorce is high among the Minangkabau, and women are under great pressure to both manage their homes and earn money for the family. Pray for special ministry to Minangkabau women that they might find their strength in Christ.
• Minangkabau men frequently come in contact with believers in their business travels. Pray that God would burden many of these believers to share the gospel with their Minangkabau friends and clients.
• West Sumatra has over 10,000 Minangkabau villages without a church. Pray that God would thrust out hundreds of church planters and evangelists among them.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Minangkabau reflect your glory as they enter into the white-hot worship of your son Jesus.
Every year 55,000 Minangkabau die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
