Rohingya refugees flee the violent oppression of the government in Myanmar. Some of them wind up in deadly jungle camps, where women are commonly raped, and all Rohingyas risk being killed, even the children. Others are trafficked and wind up as virtual slaves on fishing boats. 

The Rohingya people are almost all Sunni Muslims. Their hope is not in the person of Jesus Christ.

There are no followers of Christ among the Rohingya people in Malaysia. Pray this will soon change.

Many of the Bumthangpa (Bhotia) immigrated to Bhutan from Tibet in the eighth century. Because of their history of isolation from other nations, the Bumthangpa do not trust outsiders. They are conservative by nature and value their ancient traditions.

The remoteness of this people is an obstacle.

The growing church in Nepal is positioned to carry the Gospel to the tribes of Bhutan. Some Bhutanese are refugees in Nepal, also.

Pray for the few believers among the Bumthangpa.

During the past several years, the Indonesian government has forcibly relocated three million Jawa people to the area of the Lampung Pubian. As a result of these changes, the indigenous peoples of this area are experiencing much bitterness and unrest.

Pray for laborers to sow God's Word to persons and households of peace, who will in turn catalyze movements to Christ among the Lampung Pubian people.

Scattered mostly in Nigeria and Cameroon, these semi-nomadic people fiercely reject anything they perceive as contrary to their lifestyle of roaming with their cattle herds. 

Illiteracy is an obstacle to learning about Christ if the Gospel comes to them only in printed form.

Pray the few Christian believers among the Mbororo people will be sent teachers to help them become well established in the faith.

The earliest ancestors of the Uzbeks, the Central Asian Turks, aided Genghis Khan in his conquest of eastern Europe in the 1300s.

Proselytizing is forbidden, and the common practice of winning individuals away to Christ from their families is counterproductive.

Many younger Uzbeks are looking for a belief system to satisfy their deepest spiritual hunger. Pray for workers to sow God's Word into Uzbek families, healing and strengthening households with God's blessing.

The Bagirmi Fulani are semi-nomadic, mixing farming with shepherding. The Fulani were one of the first people groups in Africa to be converted to Islam.

The Fulani continue to be strongly committed to their current religion and worldview. Change is quite difficult and usually occurs slowly.

Much persistent prayer is needed to prepare the hearts of the Fulani to hunger for truth found only in Jesus Christ. Pray the people will hunger for truth.

The Enshi Miao have absorbed Chinese culture and customs. Most Enshi Miao under the age of 40 have no interest in religion. Most have never heard the Gospel.

If people are not interested in spiritual matters then availability of the good news of Christ is of little avail. Pray Christ will give the Enshi Miao the gift of conviction of sin.

Christians must pray for the Enshi Miao. Pray the Lord will give them seeking hearts, and then, workers to carry the Gospel of Christ to them.

Romani originated in North India, now Pakistan, many centuries ago. They no longer live nomadic lifestyles to the extent once experienced, but are often quite poor. They tend to adopt the religion of the peoples around them.

They live in a region where access to the Gospel message is quite limited.

There are few if any believers among the Romani of Pakistan, but pray there will soon be a growing church.

The Regeibat comprise several tribes of Bedouin nomads in the interior of the country. They are a subgroup of the Moors, an Arab-Berber people. Slavery has been abolished but may still be practiced in some areas.

Pray for workers needed to sow God's Word into Regeibat families, healing and strengthening households with God's blessings.

Pray the few believers among the Regeibat will grow in sharing and discussing God's Word with their families and communities.

There are many names used in many languages to refer to the Fulbe, or Fulani. Fula are primarily known to be pastoralists, but are also traders in some areas.

The various Fulbe groups have a long-standing, strong commitment to Islam. It's part of their identity.

There are a few followers of Jesus among the Fulba community, pray they will be nurtured by God's Spirit, and will become mature in the faith.
