The most responsive peoples are Haitians, Antilleans, Hmong, Amerindian tribal peoples, Brazilians and the interior bush tribes (Maroons). It is among these groups that the Pentecostals, Baptists, CMA, Nazarenes and Brethren are growing. Pray for a cooperative spirit among evangelicals and for continued unifying influence of the Suriname Bible Society, especially among ministers.

Tahiti is a paradise lost. Formerly a strongly Christian nation that sent missionaries all over the Pacific, Tahiti is now being debased by increasing vice and immorality as well as serious challenges to traditional values and ways of life. There is spiritual openness, but it seems to be shouted down by materialism. No longer do Tahitian missionaries leave for other lands as they once did.

The LMS-planted Ma'ohi Church has declined. Once the Church of the majority of Islanders, liberal theology is now predominant and evangelicals are few. Splits and defections have reduced its percentage and influence, and some well-publicized cases involving misuse of funds damaged the Church's reputation further. Pray for a moving of the Spirit of God to bring this Church back to its first love, as in the early 19th Century. There are some signs of life with the greater inclusion of young people and women.
