Asian Pacific Rim Peoples
Muslims of China

Located near the airport in Sanya on Hainan Island are the Utsat, a small unreached people group of about 8,500 people known locally as the Huihui. They identify as part of the Hui minority group in China, but they are distinct. They trace their ancestry back to Malaysia, Cambodia and/or Vietnam in the 18th or 19th century. They were Muslim when they arrived on Hainan Island about 400 years ago and have never wavered from their beliefs. Over the years, Muslim teachers have traveled from Malaysia to teach the Utsat the tenets of Islam and how to read Arabic. Pray that the Utsat would hunger and thirst for the truth of the God's gospel. Pray that they will want to read the Bible and hide God's word in their hearts. Pray that the Utsat will trust Jesus and find their identity as children of the one true God.

North African and Middle Eastern Peoples
Jewish Diaspora Worldwide

(die-AS-puh-ruh) - Many Jewish people are returning to their homeland because of the rising antagonism against them across the world. They are confused and a bit frightened by how quickly this has happened again. The often-heard saying of "never again," referring to the horrible holocaust of World War II, is front and center in their minds and hearts. Some holocaust survivors have had terrible nightmares and even have vocalized how they thought this would never happen again. To them, it is happening again, especially those older survivors who went through so much and are so close to meeting the only One who can save them forever. The Jewish people worldwide need and desire your prayers. Please pray for these people who are shaken to their core. And because the "spirit of Haman," the evil man in the Book of Esther, seems to have risen again, they need the Son to help them, and they need to know who He is once and for all.

Isolated Peoples of the Amazon Basin

"We are super excited that several of the believers from the Yacu people group are participating in a four-month-long training that includes theological training, in-depth Bible study, and a cross-cultural practicum. This training kicked off on February 26. Please bathe this training in prayer. Believers from other indigenous people groups are participating, as well. Our prayer is that this training will impact the growth and depth of indigenous churches throughout the western Amazon Basin and beyond."

European Peoples
Austrians of Austria

Please pray for IMB team members in Austria as they seek to engage their communities with the gospel in the weeks leading up to Easter. As with Christmas in Austria, Easter is a holiday that has been emptied of its spiritual significance and is celebrated purely for tradition's sake. Pray for boldness for believers to share how the resurrection of Jesus changes everything, and for receptive hearts to hear the good news.

Sub-Saharan African Peoples
Abidjan, Cote d’Ivoire

(ab-i-JAHN) - Please pray Romans 12:1-2 (ESV) for workers on the field, asking that they will "present [their] bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God." Pray that they will "not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of [their] mind" by abiding in Christ through the daily reading of God's Word and prayer. Pray that they will be able to "discern what is the will of God."
