Working Together

This 37-year-old Javanese man is a rice farmer. He has spent his entire life working in the rice fields. The field where he works is owned by several Javanese families, but it’s worked collectively. When this photo was taken, the man was spraying to kill the grass and weeds that were growing amidst the crops.

The Javanese moved to Sumatra in great numbers during the 1970s and 80s. The government encouraged this migration because of over-crowding on the island of Java. Today the Javanese are the largest people group on Sumatra at 12.5 million.

Pray for God to prepare the hearts of many Javanese people to hear and receive the Gospel.

Pray that God will guide believers with a heart to reach the Javanese to Javanese villages and communities on Sumatra.

Pray that God will weed out the distractions that keep the Javanese from being open to hearing and obeying God’s Word.

Pray for Javanese believers to become burdened to reach the rest of their people group.

If we pray together, as the Javanese work the rice fields together, then no doubt we will see a great spiritual harvest!
