Prayers for Matigsalug Tribes
Datu
ritual
The Matigsalug is a distinct sub-group of indigenous peoples within the Manobo group. They lived in the mountains of Mindanao. There are 50,000 Matigsalugs in these ranges.
Oral Tradition has said that their original settlement was at the mouth of Salug River, which is now Davao City.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Social life for the Matigsalug is patriarchal, or male-dominated. The head of the family is the husband. Polygamy is common, and allowed according to a man’s wealth.
The political structure of the Matigsalug is hierarchal. A ruler, called datu, is the head of the group.
What are their beliefs?
Their religious beliefs are revolved around the concept that there are many unseen spirits who interfere in the lives of humans. The spirits are also believed to have human characteristics. They are both good and evil in nature and can evoked to both anger and pleasure. Their culture believes in one “great spirit” is usually viewed as the creator figure.
What are their needs?
The farming techniques they used are very primitive. There is a great need of agricultural development projects to educate them on such things.
They speak a different dialect. This has made learning to speak and write their languages very difficult for outsiders.
Spiritually, the Matigsalugs need a Savior! They must be told that there is a loving God who longs to make them a part of His family.
Intercessors are needed to daily stand in the gap and pray for the salvation of these precious people. Prayer alone has the power to break through the strongholds of spirit worship.
Prayer Points
Pray against the powers of darkness that are blinding the Matigsalug from the Truth.
Pray that God will raise up Christian workers to live among them and teach them agricultural skills
Ask God to encourage and protect the small number of Matigsalug Christians, and equip them to minister the Gospel to their own people.
Pray that God will raise up qualified linguists to translate the Bible into the each of their various dialects.
Ask the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
Pray that God will give missions agencies for effective reaching them.
Ask the Lord to raise up strong churches among each of the Manobo groups.
Pray for the Trainees of Asian Center for Missions Batch 18, will be conducting Mission exposure trip on March 29 to April 8, 2007, that includes Rolitess (Fort Youth), ask God for their safety and God’s covering on their mission task.
