Introduction / History

The Trukese speak Chuukese, which is the same name. They are the dominant group in the Caroline Islands in Micronesia. Half of Micronesia’s population is Trukese. Smaller numbers of them live on Guam and the United States, where they are concentrated in California, Hawaii, and Oregon.

What Are Their Lives Like?

With a small population in the United States, the Trukese often socialize with other islanders, including Filipinos.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Most are Christian, either Roman Catholic or Protestant. They also have traditional beliefs, especially in spirit possession. The spirits typically speak through women to exhort people to get along during times of conflict.

What Are Their Needs?

Though they are overwhelmingly Christian, the Trukese Church desperately needs revival. There is a major problem with nominalism.

Prayer Items

Pray for revival fire to consume Trukese families and churches, drawing them into a close relationship with the Lord of lords.
Pray for the Lord to help them find good jobs in the United States.
Pray for the Lord to raise hundreds of Trukese men and women who will disciple others in the ways of Jesus Christ.
