In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there was a rubber boom in South America that caused great harm to indigenous peoples like the Puinave. Their home of the Puinave borders a savanna and a tropical rain forest. They live mainly in Colombia and Venezuela, but a small number have migrated to the United States.
The Puinave in the United States blend in with the Latino population.
Over half of the Puinave are Christian, usually Roman Catholic, but sometimes Evangelical. Their traditional beliefs remain to this day. Some blend these with Christianity while others stay true to the old religion.
The Puinave people need to put Jesus first in their lives. They need to understand the Bible and use it to discern what cultural practices please God and which ones need to be discarded.
Pray for the Puinave people to put Jesus first learn from him so they can have rest for their souls.
Pray for Puinave Christ followers to teach others who in turn will teach even more people about the Savior.
Pray for the Lord to provide the Puinave with justice and mercy as a testimony of his power and goodness.
