Introduction

The main sources of income for the Rawas come from rubber and palm oil plantations. They are self-sufficient in producing their food supply. The Rawas are highly motivated in pursuing their economic needs and many work until they are old. The Rawas strongly value honesty in their work and this can be seen in how they earn their money. Honesty is a community value and therefore the Rawas area is very safe. Their relationships with outsiders in their area are very good. The indigenous residents or village people are known as people who don't bother much with the affairs of transmigrants (Indonesians from other islands).

Ministry Obstacles

Without any known Christ followers in their community, the Rawas must hear the gospel from those outside their community.
