Pear, Eastern of Cambodia

Pear, Eastern of Cambodia The Pear live in small, remote, isolated villages that are often located in heavily forested areas. Mostly they practice subsistence rice farming. They largely live in humble, short stilted, one room houses with the roofs made from leaves and walls made from leaves, bamboo, and occasionally wood. Most are non-literate. Educational opportunities are quite limited and conducted in the national language, Khmer. The people are primarily animistic. They worship Neak Ta or Arak whom they believe are powerful spirits which can harm them and require sacrifices to appease them. They are extremely poor and looked down upon by the Khmer majority. Ministry Obstacles The Gospel needs to come to these largely non-literate people in oral form: recordings, stories from scripture, videos of the life of Christ, etc. Outreach Ideas Gospel recordings are available in the mother tongue of the Pear, and many resources are available in the Khmer language. Pray for workers to take these resources to the people. Poor people are often the most responsive to the Gospel of Christ. Pray for the followers of Christ Pray the few Christian believers among the Pear will be sent teachers to help them understand and apply the teachings of Christ. Pray for the entire people group Pray for these very poor people to increasingly have access to good schools, employment, and improved health care.
