The Sikiana are an extremely small people group found in Suriname and Brazil. They have their own language but speak Tiriyó.
Though little is known about this minority, they are not unseen by our loving God.
Traditionally, the primary beliefs of the Suriname came from tribal religions. Christianity has also gained prominence.
The Sikiana need to put Christ first in their lives.
Ask the Holy Spirit to revive the Sikiana church, leading them to make disciples who will make more disciples.
Pray their fellowships would be centered on Christ alone.
Pray they would have a spiritual hunger and discernment that would protect them from spiritual counterfeits and false doctrine.
Ask God to send intentional workers to the Sikiana, teaching them the way to obey the savior.
