Komodo

Komodos live on an island made famous by the huge and deadly Komodo dragon. Tourism once provided the main source of revenue for the island, but it has decreased as people have become more aware of the dangers of Komodo dragons, which have killed both people and livestock. Komodo National Park is on the island, and tourism was once the island's main source of revenue. However, rumors of park closures and increased awareness of the dangers posed by Komodo dragons have limited tourism to only the most adventurous visitors. They are Muslim, but they also retain pre-Islamic beliefs. Translation of the Bible into Komodo is underway.

Ministry Obstacles

Less than one in 1,000 is a Christian, making them a Frontier People Group. They will need to hear the gospel from outsiders, whom they might not trust.

Scripture Focus

"He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD."  Psalm 33:5

Scripture Prayer

May this people group seek and find the Lord’s unfailing love!

Prayer Focus

Pray for a complete and accurate translation of the New Testament into Komodo. Ask God to soften the hearts of Komodo family leaders to the gospel and to draw entire families to himself. Ask God to send disciple-makers to the Komodo and to direct them to persons of peace among the Komodo. Pray for God's blessing, strengthening, and healing of Komodo families and communities through the abundant life Jesus offers to all who call on his name.
