Balinese in Indonesia
bah-lih-NEEZ
Throughout the world, people know the Balinese for their artistic abilities. They live on or originated from the island of Bali. Most Balinese live in very close-knit villages with strong family, social, religious, and economic interrelationships. Hinduism is the primary religion of the Balinese. Even though Hinduism has greatly affected the culture, the Balinese have managed to maintain their original culture, so Balinese Hinduism differs from Indian Hinduism.
Ministry Obstacles
These close-knit societies make it particularly challenging for any member to find spiritual truths outside of what they already believe.
Outreach Ideas
A great need in Bali is a plan for tourism development. Well-conceived and well-executed strategies to build tourism and expand job opportunities could be an excellent gospel ministry.
Scripture Focus
"For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants." Isaiah 44:3
Scripture Prayer
Pray that this blessing will soon reach today’s people group.
Prayer Focus
Pray that Christian Balinese would find community and fellowship together. Pray that they would find ways to share the holiness and power of Christ with family and community. Pray that God would grant repentance and grace to those who need Christ and would provide them opportunities to receive him without fear.
