Muslim Thai in Thailand

tye

The Muslim Thai people live in a cultural ecotone (meeting of communities) where Islam and Malay cultures are to their south and Thai languages and Buddhism are to their north. Muslim Thai speak a Thai language, but they are Muslims like their Malay neighbors to the south. They are torn between two worlds. Unfortunately, they have not had the chance to turn their hearts to Jesus Christ and make him the center of their identity.

Ministry Obstacles

There are no known believers among the Muslim Thai, so if they are going to hear the gospel, it will have to come from someone outside their community.

Outreach Ideas

Pray that followers of Jesus would, through the Lord's guidance, plant churches among the Muslim Thai.

Scripture Focus

"Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God."  Hebrews 12:2

Scripture Prayer

Pray that the believers in this people group keep their spiritual focus on Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith.

Prayer Focus

There are no known believers among the Muslim Thai community, so pray for this to change soon. Pray for a spiritual hunger to come to Muslim Thai leaders that will lead them to find out about Jesus Christ and open the doors for others to do the same. Pray for a movement of God's blessing to flow through Muslim Thai families, discussing and applying God's word. Pray for the Name of Jesus to be known by people in every Muslim Thai village.
