In addition, some remnants of their ethnic religion can still be found, such as their constant attention on guardian spirits and their various ceremonies for good harvests or good weather. Although there are many Christian resources in the Thai language, it is illegal to witness to Muslims in Malaysia. Every effort is made to prevent the conversion of the small ethnic communities to Christianity. There is also much discrimination and bureaucratic obstruction. Worship services in private homes are strongly discouraged, and churches are closed on the weakest of pretexts.
Governmental restrictions make it extremely difficult for missionaries to work in traditional ways.
Urgent prayer is needed for the spiritual climate of Malaysia to be penetrated with the light of the Gospel. Prayer Points Ask the Lord of the harvest to send Christians who will witness with their lives to the Thai of Malaysia. Ask the Holy Spirit to give creative ideas for evangelism to the missions agency that is targeting the Thai. Pray for the Lord to use the Jesus film to soften the hearts of the Thai towards the Gospel message. Ask God to open the spiritual ears of the Thai as they listen to Christian radio broadcasts.
