Unreached group : Muong of Vietnam

  

Muong of Vietnam
Muong of Vietnam Until the revolution in 1945, Muong social organization was aristocratic, and a headman had absolute authority in his jurisdiction. Since the revolution, the Muong community has undergone enormous changes. Their nation has been transformed from a feudalistic society into a socialistic society. The Muong practice their traditional ethnic religion, worshipping ancestral spirits and other supernatural deities. Ministry Obstacles There has been little missionary work among the Muong, even though they are a large people group. Outreach Ideas Evangelists and church planters are needed to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Muong. Pray for the followers of Christ Pray the few believers among the Muong will be united around the truth of Scripture, and will lead holy lives, zealous to know and serve Jesus Christ. Pray for the entire people group Pray the Muong community will increasingly hunger to know the creator God. Pray also they will be able to live peacefully and safely. Scripture Focus "But indeed, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the Lord."

Unreached of the Day: 10/22/2011 (Saturday)

 

Java Pesisir Kulon of Indonesia
Java Pesisir Kulon of Indonesia The Jawa Pesisir Kulon people tend to be open and spontaneous in their social interactions. This is evident in their vibrant, colorful, and artistic clothing. Their culture leans more toward Islamic culture than towards their own historical Jawa culture. Islam is looked at as the national cultural foundation that takes precedence over traditional Jawa cultural values. Despite the adherence to Islam, the practice of occultism is very evident. Dukun (shaman/healer/occultist) are heavily relied upon. Various ceremonies that include meals are done to obtain happiness, safety, and peace. Ministry Obstacles The Jawa Pesisir Kulon people may not have a proper understanding of what Jesus taught, and who He claimed to be. Pray for accuracy in their understanding. Outreach Ideas Perhaps the current followers of Christ among this people will grow in numbers and maturity such that they can effectively carry the good news of Jesus to the entire community. Pray for a church planting movement to begin and be sustained. Pray for the followers of Christ Pray for those who know and follow Jesus among the Jawa Pesisir Kulon people. Pray they will be firmly established in the faith, not doubting or wavering like shifting shadow. Pray they will be rooted and established in love. Pray for the entire people group The Jawa Pesisir Kulon need high quality, practical, vocational training, including appropriate technology. Present industries need to be expanded. The transportation infrastructure needs to be developed. Scripture Focus "Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; and let them say among the nations, 'The Lord reigns.'" 1 Chronicles 16:31		People Name: Java Pesisir Kulon Country: Indonesia 10/40 Window: Yes Population: 4,500,000 World Population: 4,500,000 Language: Javanese Primary Religion: Islam Bible: Complete Online Audio NT: No Jesus Film: Yes Audio Recordings: Yes Christ Followers: Few, less than 2% Status: Unreached Progress Level: 1.2

Gospel

 The Social Gospel is a Gospel of self-help, not Divine help. Preaching the Gospel is a comprehensive answer to social evils of every kind, not just poverty or inequality. No social scheme carries power - only the Gospel. The Gospel puts the spirit of generosity, righteousness and unselfishness within people, like music in a musician.

Java Banyumasan of Indonesia
Java Banyumasan of Indonesia Most of the Jawa Banyumasan people make their living from farming, and they are fairly advanced in agricultural production. The majority are Muslim, however, most are nominal Muslims. The other one-fifth are serious Muslims who strictly follow Islamic teachings and are faithful in worship. In addition, there are some Jawa Banyumasan who follow animistic beliefs. They believe there are spirits that come from the unseen world. Ministry Obstacles The majority of the Jawa Banyumasan people are Muslim, although most are not strongly committed to Islam. Outreach Ideas Pray that the Christians in this people group will grow in maturity and numbers such that they can carry the good news of Christ to their own people. Pray for the followers of Christ There are followers of Christ among the Jawa Banyumasan people. Pray they will be faithful to fellowship together, encouraging each other and teaching each other. Pray they will be zealous to be real disciples of Christ. Pray for the entire people group The Jawa Banyumasan people still need assistance to increase their agricultural production. They need more dams; a better irrigation system would help them harvest more than three times as much per year. Development of new industry is still needed outside the city of Cilacap.
