Description: The Banjar trace their identity to a legendary Hindu kingdom; language and culture suggests they are the descendants of intermarriages between the Jawa, Malay and Dayak. They live primarily along the Southern coastal regions of Kalimantan
Prayer Points:
• Recently, there has been growing interest among Indonesian churches for the Banjar. Many have adopted them for prayer and shortterm outreach. Pray for their effectiveness in seeing an indigenous disciple-making movement established among them.
• Pray that a team of Banjars might be put together to translate the Scriptures in the next five years in close cooperation with a Bible translation expert.
• Pray for the deployment of missionary teams for each of the unengaged Banjar subgroups, which are yet untouched by any efforts.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Banjar sing for joy at the salvation you long to bring them, and dance before you in celeberation of your son Jesus.
Every year 51,000 Banjar die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
