Introduction
The Pegagan, like other inhabitants of Indonesia’s South Sumatra, are found to be generally friendly, and adapt well to living with neighbors. Rice farming is the mainstay of their livelihood. Additionally, they fish in rivers, raise small livestock and sell embroidered cloth. All of them are Muslim; many of their mosques are large. They are very active in religious devotion, though traditional customs are intertwined with Islam.
Ministry Obstacles
There is presently a lack of Spirit-led believers willing to bring the gospel to this people group.
Outreach Ideas
Pray for the Followers of Christ
Pray for the Entire People Group
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move in the hearts of the Pegagan so that their youth will be receptive to discipleship from equipped Indonesian believers sent by the Lord.
Pray that the Pegagan will then take the good news home to their families and villages and lives victorious in Christ will flourish.
