Brunei
State of Brunei Darussalam - Asia
Two small enclaves on the island of Borneo, separated by the East Malaysian state of Sarawak. Tropical, 70% forest, with heavy rainfall.
Area: 5, 765 sq km
Population: 407, 045
Annual Growth: 1.92%
Capital: Bandar Seri Begawan
Official language: Malay, English
Languages: 17
Largest Religion: Muslim 65.31% (11.31% Christian, and 6.1% are Evangelical Christians)
Challenges for Prayer:
The Sultan is alleged to be the world’s second wealthiest royal. The Sultan is reluctant to diversify the economy and liberalize government structures, believing that external influences might destabilize the country. Yet, he has established a world-class university and is working toward a smooth handover to the crown prince. Pray for conversions to Christ in the large royal family; the Sultan has shown evidence of becoming increasingly spiritual. Pray also that in following him, the Sultan’s subjects might seek after spiritual truth and in doing so find Jesus.
