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.

For you, Joe

So, I did not get to post my first day back. I am sorry about that,
but I will try to be better about it.

For those of you that don't know, I met some really cool people last
week and they gave me some feedback on this blog. They sort of
expressed concern on the frequency of my posts. They still understand
that when I am in the villages that it is impossible to post, but for
those times when I am in the capital, or even remotely have the
chance to check email and update the blog then I am under obligation
to do so.

For those of you that are loyal (or obsessive) checkers of my blog I
will be better. The problem lies in the uni-directional flow of
communication on the blog. That is just a interesting way to say that
posting on my blog is great, but if I do not receive feedback/
comments on posts or emails I am not so encouraged to post. That is
where you all come in. Please comment on my posts. The deal is that
if you comment, I will post more. Got it?

Take care!!

Thanks again Wickland!! I had a great time with y'all in Tampa!!
