Gayo of Indonesia
The Gayo of Indonesia live in the remote central highlands of Aceh Province on the island of Sumatra, an area difficult for Christians to enter. The Gayo do not have a written language. Folk tales and oral stories are passed down in the form of poetry. The Gayo people are mostly Muslim, but their understanding and conviction are lacking. Most Gayo still believe in good and bad spirits and holy men both dead and alive.
Ministry Obstacles
The Gayo live among the strongly Muslim Aceh people, making access especially difficult to outsiders.
Outreach Ideas
Sustained, focused prayer for the Gayo is needed. Christians need to find ways to help the Gayo with needs such as improved health care.
Pray for the followers of Christ
The few Christians among the Gayo tribe very much need our prayers. Pray they will cling to Christ, resting in His commitment to them.
Pray for the entire people group
The Gayo need medical workers to improve health conditions, as local understanding about health matters is very low. Pray for improved medical care.
