Sokoto Fulani of Eastern Niger

The Sokoto Fulani are a subgroup of the much larger Fulani people of West Africa. They are found in southeastern Niger and northern Nigeria. Ninety-nine percent of this people group of 480,000 follows a mixture of Islamic and traditional African beliefs. There is no Bible in their dialect; they have never heard the gospel. There has been virtually no Christian witness among them for centuries.

Drew and Jennifer Blessing and their children will be spending Christmas with family before leaving Dec 29 to join the ministry in Niger.  Please pray for their time with family and for all the last minute details of moving from one continent to another to come together peacefully.  Finally, pray for their safety to and transition in a new country.

    Hi Kris
    Keith from Burkina here. I'm still on sabbatical, and praying about the next steps. I try to keep up with what's happening among the Fulani, but have only just discovered your blog here.

    God bless you and the team as you go forward in his service.

    My own website and blog are at:
