Pando have little prosperity or status, yet God has surrounded them with natural tropical beauty. They engage in small-scale farming as their primary source of livelihood. Daily labor, cultivation, cattle, birds, and forest produce supplement their income. However, they do not have access to basic facilities such as electricity, roads, and healthcare at home or while they work. There is not a single health center where people can go during emergencies. Only a few Pando villages have government nursery and primary schools, but they show minimal interest in education.

Ministry Obstacles: Karma is a festival in celebration of the Pando liquor god. Everyone, young and old, men and women, will drink the whole day. Lacking sobriety during certain times of the year, the Pando resist the gospel truths which do not allow for a lifestyle of excess. They need a desire for holy living.

Scripture Focus: "Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon earth. Selah"
- Psalm 67:3-4

Prayer Focus: Pray that this day will come soon! Pray for loving Christian workers to arise among the Pando so more disciples will be made. Pray for the Lord to prepare the hearts of the Pando to grasp and believe the gospel. Pray for the Lord to bless the Pando with adequate education and medical facilities. Pray that the Lord will bless the Pando so abundantly that they will see that he is the only one worthy of praise and worship.
