The Unreached Peoples Prayer Profiles










Prayer Profile

The Minangkabau of Indonesia





The Minangkabau are the fourth largest ethnic group in
Indonesia.  They
live primarily in the tropical mountain regions of
Sumatra, Indonesia's westernmost island.  Sumatra, the
sixth largest island in the world, is populated by
people of fifteen different language groups.

Minangkabau origins were heavily influenced by
Hinduism and date back to around 200 AD.  The name
"Minangkabau" represents a high degree of wit and
resourcefulness, since it literally means "winning"
(minang) "water buffalo" (kabau).  They
are well known throughout Southeast Asia and Indonesia
for their spicy foods, cultural pride, and  successful
businesses.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of the Minangkabau
culture is that their societies are matrilineal.  This
means that they recognize descent and inheritances
through the female line.  The Minangkabau are the
largest people group in the world to continue this
practice.  The strength of their culture is that they
have remained matrilineal while embracing Islam.

What are their lives like?
The majority of the Minangkabau live in Western
Sumatra.  They are renowned among scholars and
throughout Indonesia for their prominence in business.
 In fact, they are one of the few ethnic groups that
can compete successfully with the Chinese.

The Minangkabau who live in villages have become
highly skilled in several home industries.  Their
businesses include weaving, blacksmithing, and
carving.  Those who live scattered throughout the
rugged, fertile countryside work primarily as wet rice
farmers.

Known as the world's largest matrilineal people,
Minangkabau properties and family names are passed
down through the women.  Marriages are usually
arranged by a representative of the family.  Young
married couples usually live with the wife's mother or
another of the wife's relatives.  The woman is
expected to manage both a career and the home. Land is
owned collectively and centers around the
great-grandmother.  Decisions regarding land usage are
 made by consensus with an elected male elder
presiding. Many Minangkabau men leave home seeking
wealth and respect.  Perhaps this explains why divorce
is a very common occurrence.

The Minangkabau possess a wide variety of cultural
abilities.  Worldwide attention has been given to
their distinct styles of art, music, architecture,
poetry, and literature.  They also enjoy times of
celebration, such as holidays, Islamic pilgrimages,
weddings,  circumcisions, and house dedications.

Their native  language, Minangkabau, is distinct, yet
related to the language of the Malay and similar to
Indonesian.

What are their beliefs?
The Minangkabau are 99%
Shafiite Muslims.
They are among Indonesia's most devoted Muslims, with
many holding important positions in leadership. 
Religious services are well attended.  The five
pillars of Islam are diligently practiced, and pigs
and pork are detested.  Although some folk religions
are in existence, they are generally looked down upon.

It is very interesting that the mythology concerning
their origin includes the story of a worldwide flood
and three brothers who survived on a boat!

The Minangkabau take great pride in their ancestry,
claiming to have descended from Alexander the Great. 
They have had an impact on nearly every aspect of
Indonesian life, including the government, the arts,
and various  professional ventures.  Unfortunately,
these things have given them a false sense of 
security, and they appear to have no need for the
Gospel.  However, loss of old traditions and increased
migration into the cities may provide inroads for the
Gospel into this tightly knit group.

What are their needs?
There are currently eight missions agencies targeting
the Minangkabau; however, little progress has been
made among them.  The New Testament, the Jesus
film, and Christian radio and television broadcasts
are  available in their language.  Yet, there are only
about 1,000 known believers.  The Islamic religion is
very difficult to penetrate.  Christian laborers who
are sensitive to the Muslim culture are needed to live
and work among these living in spiritual darkness.

Prayer Points

Ask the Lord to call people who are willing to go
to Indonesia and share Christ with the Minangkabau.
Ask God to strengthen,
