Resources for the Biafada

This people group, the Biafada, live in Guinea-Bissau. The majority follow a combination of Islamic doctrine and animistic practices. Pray that there will be a greater provision of Christian resources for the Biafada. A small number of Biafada are evangelical Christians; pray that these believers will influence those around them and be willing to share Jesus.

Mandinka (Mandingo) people

Indigenous to West Africa, the Mandinka people (also know as Mandingo) number over 2 million. Some progress has been made in mission to the Mandinka: they have a complete Bible, for example, but they are still unreached – especially in Senegal where less than 1% of them are Christians. Praise the Lord for access to the Bible, and pray that these people will hear the good news.

Gonja people of Ghana

This group of people in northern Ghana faces daily poverty, shortages of water and food, and few opportunities for schooling and employment. In this primarily muslim culture, the few followers of Christ need to be discipled, learn good farming methods, and be taught to read. Pray for workers to come from elsewhere in Africa, and for financial and audio resources to build the Church among the Gonja.

Nalu people of West Africa

The Nalu are found in Guinea and Guinea-Bissau. Their belief system is a mixture of traditional religion and Islam. Pray that Nalu people will have the opportunity to hear clearly about who Jesus is, in their mother tongue. Pray that Christian teachers would be willing to build bridges to help these peoples hear the gospel.

Gambia

August 2021

Fulakunda people in Gambia

Settled throughout West Africa, this group of 2.5 million individuals is blessed to have the complete New Testament and Jesus film available in their main language, Pulaar. Pray for the New Testament to be widely distributed and for increasing literacy, so that it can be read. Pray also for workers from other parts of Africa to hear God’s call to reach these muslim men, women and children with God’s love. WEC has two projects making more christian materials available: pray for clear translations, good recordings, steady power supply, fast internet and wisdom for everyone involved.
