Tatana in Malaysia
PRINT VERSION:
SHARE:
The Tatana is an indigenous people group in Borneo, Sabah, Indonesia.
Their culture is slowly disappearing. Though their language is still alive, it will take effort to make sure the younger generation still speaks it.
The Tatana have their own indigenous beliefs, but they are influenced by Islam, Christianity and Chinese religious practices. They have a Christian population, but it is small.
The Tatana people need to put Jesus Christ first in their community. Hopefully, someone will introduce Jesus in a culturally appropriate and compelling manner.
Pray for the Lord to raise up someone to take the gospel to them in a culturally appropriate way.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to draw the Tatana people of Malaysia to the Throne of Grace.
Pray for Tatana followers of Christ to disciple others to disciple others as well.
