Lisela of Indonesia

Lisela of Indonesia Most Lisela live on the northern and eastern coasts of the island of Buru. Some live on the island of Ambon. They live in a region marked by tropical rain forests and savannahs. Most of their income is derived from cultivating cloves, nutmeg, copra, coffee, cashew nuts, and cocoa beans. The inhabitants of the island of Buru are working hard to create a more prosperous environment for themselves. Buru Island is forecast to become a top rice producer by 2020. The Lisela are Muslims. They seek to be faithful, fulfilling the demands of Islam. They also follow their traditional beliefs. This combination is visible in wedding ceremonies. Ministry Obstacles The Lisela language has no reported scripture or other resources available. Outreach Ideas Pray that Christians in other tribes of Indonesia will be given a heart to teach and encourage the Christians presently in the Lisela tribe. They need to grow in maturity and numbers so they can reach their own people. Pray for the followers of Christ There are a number of Christians among the Lisela people. Please pray they will live holy lives, filled with zeal toward knowing and pleasing God. Pray for the entire people group Education is a primary need, so they will be better able to find employment.
