The Tausug people of Malaysia came from the Philippines in the 18th century and settled in Sabah. Their name means “people of the sea current.” They farm, fish, and raise livestock to provide income. Most Tausug people follow Sunni Islam, and as they grow up, they are instructed from the Quran. Some, however, have retained animistic beliefs, attributing good fortune and calamity to the various spirits. They believe that after death, punishment for sins committed will be revealed. Pray for them to know the freedom of having their sins forgiven through Christ, and for the burden of working to attain favor to be replaced by the joy of serving a God whom they love and worship. Ask God to send believers to them to share the truth of the gospel, and pray that many will come to saving faith.
