• The unique culture and beauty of Bali attracts millions of tourists. Most bring a godless, self-seeking way of life. A few bring the gospel. Bali has 49,000 Hindu temples, as most Balinese practise a version of Hinduism. Occult, magic, and spiritism all influence the people. Balinese Christians are few. Converts to Christ often face persecution when they change their way of life. Bali needs the power of the gospel to set its people free. 1 million Balinese live on Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Lombok, and have more openness to the gospel in those places.
• Flores is 80% Catholic but steeped in pagan and idolatrous rituals sometimes involving snake worship. Born-again Christians are very few and largely Timorese. No language of Flores has Scripture. The Manggarai (660,000) - around half are Muslim and half are animist - are the largest group in the Flores-Sumba-Alor people cluster. Pray for spiritual breakthrough for the Manggarai and others to encounter the power and love of Jesus.
• Sumba, an island long known for its animism and resistance to the gospel, saw a movement of the Spirit in the late 1980s, with Protestants doubling from 75,000 to 160,000 in five years. Pray that this movement may impact all seven language groups on the island; nearly one-third are still animists while many Christians, both Reformed and Catholic, are nominal.
• West Lesser Sunda Islands (Nusa Tenggara Barat):

The three major indigenous people groups remain largely unevangelized amidst ongoing efforts to reach them for the past 20 or more years, although greater responsiveness is also reported. They are: Muslim Sasak (2.75m) on Lombok, and Bima (650,000) and Sumbawa (400,000) on Sumbawa Island. There are less than 200 known believers among the Sasak, less than 100 among the Bima and less than 20 among the Sumbawa. All three groups are strongly Muslim but still adhere to animistic beliefs. Several second- and third-generation house fellowships have formed among the Bima and Sumbawa.
