The Miranha Bora in Brazil are a tribe of Indians living in the Amazon. The Miranha and Bora are related and speak similar languages. They are looked on as one people.
The Bora live mainly in Peru but also in Colombia and the Brazilian Amazon. They live mostly in forest settlements and speak Bora. Most of the Bora also speak Spanish.
They have bows and arrows for weapons and have a very good knowledge about plants. The Bora are exogamous and so marry outside their own people group.
They are animists who believe that there is no difference between the spiritual and natural world.
Because of their harsh environment, outside evangelical efforts encounter many obstacles in adapting to it as well as relating to these very isolated people groups. Also, the government of Brazil is trying to protect the small tribes from contact with outsiders.
Pray that South American Christians will lead the Bora Miranha to Jesus Christ.
Pray that the government in Brazil will allow the evangelization of small tribes of the Amazon.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to abundantly bless the Bora people spiritually and materially.
Pray for their protection from the spirit world.
