Muslim Thai in Thailand

The Muslim Thai people live in a cultural ecotone (meeting of communities) where Islam and Malay cultures are to their south and Thai languages and Buddhism are to their north. Muslim Thai speak a Thai language, but they are Muslims like their Malay neighbors to the south. They are torn between two worlds. Unfortunately, they have not had the chance to turn their hearts to Jesus Christ and make him the center of their identity.

Ministry Obstacles

There are no known believers among the Muslim Thai, so if they are going to hear the gospel, it will have to come from someone outside their community.

Outreach Ideas

Pray that followers of Jesus would, through the Lord's guidance, plant churches among the Muslim Thai.

Scripture Focus

"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him."  Hebrews 11:6

Scripture Prayer

Pray for this people group to come to God and understand that He will reward them with His truth.

Prayer Focus

There are no known believers among the Muslim Thai community, so pray for this to change soon. Pray for a spiritual hunger to come to Muslim Thai leaders that will lead them to find out about Jesus Christ and open the doors for others to do the same. Pray for a movement of God's blessing to flow through Muslim Thai families, discussing and applying God's word. Pray for the Name of Jesus to be known by people in every Muslim Thai village.
