Day 20

The Rangi are predominantly M. Only a small percentage have been affected by Christian influence as represented by the Roman Catholic Church. Protestant churches have had little success among the Rangi despite a large number of outside pastors and evangelists. Members of the Protestant churches are outsiders, government or business people who work in this area. Although the Rangi have no official followers of the local traditional religion, many of those beliefs have been incorporated into the present day religions. Reports of witchcraft among these people are common, and sometimes people from other parts of the country fear to move into the area for that reason.

• P-ay for bel!evers to open up their hears to their M neighbors and to be a blessing to them in practical, concrete ways.


• P-ay for more divine encounters to occur among the Rangi (see Acts 10:17-48).


• P-ay for bel!evers to be courageous while extending the hand of fellowship and assistance to new people (it can be risky).
