The Bintauna live on the northern peninsula on the island of Sulawesi. They are part of the Minahasa-Sangir of Sulawesi people cluster within the Malay Peoples affinity bloc. Their primary language is Bintauna.
We know very little about their lifestyle. However, they probably are an agrarian people like those around them.
The Bintauna practice Sunni Islam, likely mixed with some animistic beliefs and practices.
The Bintauna do not have the Bible or any Christian resources in their primary language.
Pray for a translation of the New Testament into Bintauna.
Thank God for the believers among the Bintauna and ask that he will draw the families of these believers to the only savior.
Ask God to create a movement of multiplying disciples and churches among the Bintauna.
