Mauritius Island, a land area of about 15-by-20 miles long and wide, lies 560 miles east of Madagascar, off east Africa. The island is home for a mixed group including indentured workers, Chinese traders, European settlers and those who descended from slaves. The language they speak is called Morisyan or Mauritian Creole.
Through the years many have settled in other countries to earn a living. Among these are Ireland, the UK, Australia, Canada, Sri Lanka, Belgium and South Africa. Those in Canada usually live either in Toronto or Montreal.
Canada is a good location for Mauritius given the combined English and French influence in both countries.
Mauritians in Canada can be Hindu, Muslim or Christian. A little over half are Christian in Canada.
The Mauritians need to see the glory of the Lord so they can understand that he is far above all others.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to woo Mauritians into a vibrant, unshakable faith in Jesus Christ.
Pray for Christ followers among the Mauritians to disciple others who will disciple others.
Pray for the Lord’s powerful transformation of Mauritian families as a testimony to others of his goodness and love.
