Dumpas in Malaysia
PRINT VERSION:
SHARE:
Sabah, Malaysia is home to a small Dumpas community. Their language is in the Austronesian language family.
The language of the Dumpas people is dying out in favor of either Tambanuo or Bahasa.
The Dumpas people have their own tribal religious beliefs. There is a Christian presence among them, but it is small.
They need a Christ-centered theology so they can live life to the full.
Pray for Dumpas elders to seek and find the only savior.
Pray for followers of Christ among the Dumpas people to disciple others so they can have life to the full.
Pray for the Lord to bless the work of their hands as a testimony of his power and goodness.
Scripture Prayers for the Dumpas in Malaysia.
