Western Niger Fulani

The Fulani are the largest nomadic people group in the world. One of the tribes or sub-groups of this large people group is the Fulani of Western Niger. There are an estimated 400,000 Western Fulani and, out of this number, approximately 50 are Christians. Worship services and chronological Bible “storying” are both underway, but no churches have yet been planted among this people group.

I recently heard from a friend, Omarou, who is a Fulani believer, about a village in the SW part of Niger, that as many as 20 people have been listening to radio broadcasts and are ready to "throw away their religion" and "follow Omarou's religion".   This village is remote and difficult to reach.  There are no other know believers there and no churches for possibly 20 - 40 miles.
 
Please pray for these seekers that they would hunger for the truth;
    that the Father would send someone to help them grow in their faith;
    that they would come together and form a true, Christ-honoring church;
    that the Father would protect them from the enemy.

Jan 13-20 there will be a medical team from North America coming to work among the Fulani.  Please pray for the planning for this large team as there is much work that still must be done before they arrive.  Also, pray for those whom they will touch.  Pray that their ministry will open doors in villages and individuals to hear more about Jesus.
