Negara Brunei Darussalam, officially the State of Brunei, {Abode of Peace} is a country located on the island of Borneo, in Southeast Asia. Apart from its coastline with the South China Sea it is completely surrounded by the state of Sarawak, Malaysia.
Muslims predominate in this region and the dominant religion is Islam followed by Christianity.
The peoples of Southeast Asia, especially those of Austronesian descent, have been seafarers for thousands of years, some reaching the island of Madagascar. Their vessels, such as the vinta, were ocean-worthy. Magellan's voyage records how much more maneuverable their vessels were, as compared to the European ships.
Prayer:
Lord God almighty, creator of all that ever was and ever will be, I am humbled to be in your presence. Holy Father I give to you this day the nation of Negara Brunei Darussalam and all of the people thereof. If it pleases you Lord grant them blessings that surpasses the natural. Bless them with all spiritual blessings, allow them to know you as you are, a loving and compassionate God. In the name of Jesus I pray.
