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.

Please Pray for Language Study for Drew and Jen

Tomorrow, January 9th, Drew and Jen begin three weeks of French
language study followed by two months of Fulfulde study. Please pray
for them as they are humbled and frustrated, grow in their abilities
and build relationships cross culturally. Pray for their family as
they adjust to a new schedule and a new home.
