Brunei Darussalam means "Brunei, Abode Of Peace" but
there is little real peace apart from Jesus Christ, here or anywhere! Brunei is an
independent, Islamic state colonized by England 100 years ago but given independence in
1979. It is now ruled by the royal family under Islamic law.
Spiritually, Brunei is indeed a dark country, with little
apparent mission activity, especially among the Muslim population. Christian
missionaries are not welcome here. The existing Christians are mostly tribal
converts of earlier mission efforts and are not culturally in a position to make much
difference. Someone has to find a way to get in and stay in long enough to plant a
culturally appropriate church movement among the unreached of Brunei... Who?
Our prayer for Brunei: "Jesus, You shed precious blood
for the people of Brunei. Not many of them know it yet. Please Lord, don't let
it be wasted on them. Will you prepare their hearts to receive the gospel? We
ask you to raise up church planting teams that will find a way to get in to Brunei and to
share You with the Muslims there. Lord, send workers to Brunei today! Father,
Jesus said You'd do whatever we asked in His Name, according to Your will. Bless and
encourage the existing church in Brunei, revive and empower it. Save souls in
Brunei, Father, and let a strong, reproducing church be planted among the Muslims there,
in Jesus' Name. Amen"
