Brao in Cambodia

Brao in Cambodia
The Brao of northeast Cambodia have dark skin and black hair, resembling the majority Khmer and Lao lowlanders of the region. Older Brao often wear traditional dress. Their earlobes are stretched from wearing large elephant tusk earrings. Their faces sometimes bear tattoos, also a fashion from the past. Younger people generally wear western clothing purchased in the market. For centuries they have maintained animistic beliefs rather than embracing the Buddhist religion of the lowland people. The Brao live in continual fear of evil spirits. Arak and Bras are the local names for spirits requiring appeasement. Villagers raise chickens, pigs, cows, and water buffalo primarily for sacrifice.
Ministry Obstacles
The fear the Brao people have of spiritual forces may make them unwilling to even listen to the good news of Christ.
Outreach Ideas
Gospel recordings are available in the language of the Brao people. Pray that workers will be sent to take these to the people.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There may be no followers of Jesus Christ among the Brao people, at most there are very few. Pray the Lord will soon send evangelists and church planters to the Brao, because the need is great.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Brao tribe will soon be delivered from the fear of spirits, and will be told of the protection and love available from the Creator God.
Scripture Focus
"Now go out to the street corners and invite everyone you see." Matthew 22:9
