Maguindanao in Philippines


Maguindanao in Philippines

Traditional Maguindanao settlements were located near waterways. This allowed ease of transportation and communication by boat. Several of the major trading centers were also seats of political power. This traditional pattern of settlement has been slowly altered by the building of roads that do not follow the natural course of the waterways. Large towns have sprung up along these highways, becoming new centers of commerce.

Ministry Obstacles

Muslim religious leaders and teachers preside over religious life. They teach young schoolboys to read and memorize the Koran. It is very difficult for them to accept the teachings of another holy book, especially when it comes from the Catholic Filipinos, whom many Muslims view as enemies.

Outreach Ideas

Some Christian radio and television broadcasts are available for the Maguindanao, but there have been very few responses to them.

Scripture Focus

"He answered, Whether he is a sinner I do not know. One thing I do know, that though I was blind, now I see."  John 9:25

Scripture Prayer

Pray that the Lord removes the spiritual blindness of today’s people group and they begin to see God’s truth revealed in Jesus Christ.

Prayer Focus

Pray for God to encourage, strengthen and protect the small number of Magindanao believers. Ask the Lord to raise up a strong church among the Maguindanao that will be a blessing to their community. Ask the Holy Spirit to prepare the hearts of the Maguindanao people for the gospel. Ask the Holy Spirit to give mission agencies creative ideas with which to reach the Muslim Maguindanao.
