Global Gathering – SE Asia: Soli Island (FULL)

Islam is the main religion of the 3.3 million of one people group who predominately live in SE Asia. Only 0.01% of these people follow Jesus. They typically work as farmers, fishers, and artisans. In their culture, family life is fragile because of high divorce rates. When getting married, many people follow the custom of eloping. The woman voluntarily allows herself to be “kidnapped” and “hides” while the “kidnapper” negotiates the wedding terms with her family. After the terms are set, the wedding ceremony follows.

Many people are traumatized by frequent earthquakes, floods, poverty, high maternal mortality rates, and child mortality.
