What Are Their Lives Like?

What Are Their Beliefs?

Traditionally they had a flexible way to deal with spiritual matters. A Lokono Arawak can associate with their traditions, or they may chose not to. This has affected the way they view the Christian faith. The Lokono Arawak are most highly reached with the gospel in Guyana, but there is a strong Christian presence among them in all the other nations where they live except French Guiana.


What Are Their Needs?

The Lokono Arawak need to put all their trust in Jesus Christ, King of kings.

Pray for a Holy Spirit revival in their churches, leading many to the abundant life promised by the Lord.
Pray for the Lord to provide for all their physical needs according to his mercy and glory.
