Unreached of Day: Today



Ucayali-Yurua Asheninka in Brazil

The Ucayali-Yurua Asheninka live a subsistence lifestyle, connected to the land with only enough food for one or two days. They must work hard to produce enough to eat, and their hunters do not find enough meat. To make matters worse, the lands of indigenous peoples are often exploited by loggers and other outsiders.

Ministry Obstacles

Animism still has a strong grip on the lives of the Ucayali-Yurua Asheninka. Christianity is often viewed as the religion of those who wish to use them, so they want nothing to do with it. Only a few Ucayali-Yurua Asheninka identify as Christians.

Outreach Ideas

Missionaries who can offer medical treatment and perhaps a medical facility would greatly improve their lives. Also, teachers committed to students' welfare would help in improving their lives for the future.

Scripture Focus

"Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me."  Psalm 51:2-3

Scripture Prayer

Pray for true heart-felt repentance to come to leaders of this people group.

Prayer Focus

May the few believers grow strong in the Word, resulting in a people movement to Christ. Pray for the Lord to improve their lives physically, economically and spiritually. Pray for the Lord to prepare and raise up Christ followers who will lay down their lives for the Ucayali-Yurua Asheninka people. Pray for the Holy Spirit to prepare their hearts to hear of the savior of all mankind.
