Subanen, Tuboy of Philippines
The name Subanon means "river people". As the name
implies, these people originally lived along riverbanks in the lowlands;
however due to disturbances from others such as the Muslims, these
peace-loving people are now found residing in the mountains. They do not
practice division of labor based on gender. Men and women work in the
fields together, and men can cook and care for the children when
necessary. Subanons have little social stratification. The tribe is said
to have no religion, yet they believe in a supreme being they call
"Diwata Migbebaya".Ministry Obstacles The Gospel needs to come to the Tuboy Subanen in ways they understand, probably orally as well as in print. Outreach Ideas Other Subanen tribes have substantial numbers of Christians. Pray some of these will be prompted to take the Gospel to their Tuboy cousins, even though the language may be somewhat different than their own. Pray for the followers of Christ There may be a few followers of Jesus among the Tuboy Subanen. Please pray they will live holy lives and learn to live in the power of God's Sprit. They need teachers to teach them how. Pray for the entire people group Pray these poor people will be able to care adequately for their families. Pray they will have good crops, and will be able to find employment as well. Scripture Focus "After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb." Revelation 7:9 |
