Lematang of Indonesia

 
Lematang of Indonesia
The Lematang people are very hospitable and friendly when welcoming newcomers. They have a strong sense of community togetherness proven by their adherence to "gotong royong" (neighborhood mutual service and assistance), not only to the Lematang community itself, but also to outside communities. They currently embrace Islam, yet still hold to ancient beliefs concerning magic and mystical powers.
Ministry Obstacles
Scripture is not available in the language of the Lematang, requiring other means to convery Biblical truth.
Outreach Ideas
Christians may be able to minister to the Lematang through schooling for the children, and through micro-enterprise.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There are only a few known believers among the Lematang. Pray the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which they have been called, the riches of their glorious inheritance.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for improved schools for the children of the Lematang, and that parents will place priority on education for their children.
