Introduction

Muslim Thai identify as Thai first in non-religious matters and generally consider themselves one of the Thai communities. Traditionally Thai rulers consider themselves royal patrons of all religions; this has contributed to stability in Thailand benefitting Muslim Thai. Muslim Thai are becoming more deliberate in Islamic practices abandoning certain Thai practices such as praying to ancestors. Muslim Thai value education for women. Young people have some freedom in choosing careers and spouses. A minority in a Buddhist society, Muslim Thai maintain their Muslim identity through their mosque communities. Few, if any, would consider Christ’s answers.


Ministry Obstacles

The Muslim Thai need to hear the gospel from someone outside their community. They need the courage to step forward and consider the ways of Jesus, no matter what other people say or do.


Prayer Focus

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 follow.
Pray for a movement of God's blessing to flow through Muslim Thai families.
Pray for the name of Jesus to be known in every Muslim Thai village. Pray that followers of Jesus would plant churches among the Muslim Thai.
