Introduction / History

The Yabarana are a small group near the Paracito River of Venezuela. Poor conditions as rubber tappers in the eighteenth century caused their population to dwindle.

What Are Their Lives Like?

The Yabarana are a highly endangered people group. Because of this, little is known regarding their current culture.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Catholicism, which has been syncretized with cultural spiritual beliefs, is the majority religion.

What Are Their Needs?

The Yabarana need their physical and spiritual needs met.

Prayer Points

Ask the Lord to send workers to the Yabarna, showing them the way to love and obey the Lord.
Pray they would be given a spiritual hunger and discernment, as well as protection from spiritual counterfeits and false doctrine.

Disclaimers:

Joshua Project data is drawn from many sources and of varying accuracy depending on source and editorial decisions. Populations are scaled to the current year. Other data may have varying ages. We welcome updates.
Joshua Project occasionally adjusts profile text from third party sources. This is done to avoid confusion regarding the current reality of a people group, to fix grammar and spelling and to avoid potentially offensive wording.
A displayed zero can mean true zero, a very small rounded number or sometimes unknown. Blanks mean an unknown value.
Data is not as precise as it appears. Values for %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical (which determine unreached status) are often informed estimates, some more accurate than others. We recommend against using %Christian Adherent and %Evangelical to calculate absolute numbers.
Joshua Project makes every effort to ensure that the subject in an image is in fact from the specific people group. In rare instances a representative photo may be used.
Joshua Project may be able to provide more information than what is published on this site. Please contact us.
On-the-ground reality may vary from what is presented here. Before making travel plans based on data presented here, please confirm with other sources to the extent possible.
