Asian Pacific Rim Unengaged Peoples

The Singkil people live in the southern part of Aceh Province, bordering on North Sumatra. Most Singkil make a living in farming and fishing. Others are craftsmen or laborers. They highly value togetherness and strong family ties, and their lives closely follow traditional culture and Islamic laws. Though the Singkil people follow Islam, some still trust in ancestral spirits and the spirits of religious leaders. They also frequent shamans for services they can render. Village leaders are highly respected in the community, both in the area of culture and in the area of religion. Will you pray for village leaders to hear the good news and begin to turn from their gods and follow Jesus? One transformed life could greatly impact an entire village, and that village could then impact the next. “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?” (Jeremiah 32:27 ESV).
