Soninke people

The Soninke peoples live in countries in West Africa, in France and in the USA. Their main religion is Islam and these 2.7 million people only have portions of the Bible in their language. Pray for the translation work, which is still in progress. Pray for Christians to serve among them for the long term, and for resources via radio and the internet to be used effectively to share the good news of Jesus.

The Wolof live in 12 different countries and number 6.2 million. In most countries, the Wolof people have the New Testament in their language. But in the Gambia, there is a special need for workers, and the Wolof only have access to portions of the Bible.

Wala people of Ghana

The Wala people group are part of the wider Lobi-Wala group. The Wala people are only found in Ghana and number 103,000. Though their culture includes animistic beliefs, most of the Wala people have taken on the majority religion: Islam. The New Testament exists in their language but many have yet to read it or become Christians. Pray for a clear gospel message to open more eyes and hearts to receive Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to grant wisdom and favour to missions agencies focusing on the Lobi-Wala.

Tuareg unreached people in Burkina Faso

The Udalan Tuareg are part of a larger group of nomadic, Berber-speaking Tuareg who live in an area that stretches from Western Sahara to western Sudan. Most of the Udalan Tuareg live in Mali, and an additional group of 170,000 live in Burkina Faso. Though the majority are Muslims, they practice a passive form of Islam, infused with folk beliefs and magic. Pray that gospel broadcasts will soon be produced in their Tamasheq language. And ask the Lord to send loving Christians from other parts of Africa to Burkina Faso to share the gospel with the Tuareg.

Radio outreach in Senegal

Just a few years back the first Christian radio station was planted in Senegal with the help of Reach Beyond and their audience has been steadily building ever since. We are now preparing to send 300 solar powered radios and audio Bibles to this station as they have a new strategy to use these radios to help with Discovery Bible Study and Discipleship groups. The radios are pre-tuned to the Christian station and will be in great demand. Please pray for many to hear about Jesus for the first time through these radios, and for the station to be encouraged as they see their ministry expand and bless new believers.
