Decades ago, missiologist Ralph Winter wrote about three eras of missionary history<\/a>\u2014how God sent his servants first to the coastlines of various continents, then to the inland areas of various continents, and then, finally, to the unreached peoples of those continents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia is an exception. Missionaries went first to the inland areas, reaching various Dayak groups but making little impact in coastal communities. The Banjar people, with a population of more than four million, are the largest such coastal people group. Twenty-five years ago they had no scripture in their language, and even now, no churches worship God in the Banjar language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This has been an extremely difficult group to reach. Some of God\u2019s workers have been killed. Others have been deported and blacklisted. Due to the challenges of reaching this group, gospel workers have set up a website with the goal of raising up 1,000 daily prayer warriors who would continue to pray until there is a breakthrough among the Banjar\u2014the birth of fellowships that worship God in the Banjar language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Would you prayerfully consider becoming one of these 1,000 prayer warriors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n To learn more, visit Pray4theBanjar.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to find (or create) something like this for another people group on your heart?
