welcome to *SM

Welcome to *SM. In this village, there is a small Fulani church, and about thirty believers. A Hausa man came to this village and told these people about Jesus, and the people accepted. Now, the people meet regularly for church - they sing songs, pray and listen to the Word of God.



Missionaries are doing oral Bible study with the women of SM. Most of the women do not think that they can learn from the Bible, because they do not think they have any intelligence. But slowly, the women are accepting the teachings from Scripture and learning how to apply it to their lives.



The men are engaged in literacy classes. While the work is difficult for them, some men clearly desire to learn. One man has had some training in the past and will soon be able to read on his own. Others are slowly learning to read by recognizing syllables and sounding out the words.



Pray that the people of SM will be open to learning. Pray that they will tell others about the good news they have received, and seek to grow their church. Pray that this Fulani church would be the first of many Fulani churches in eastern Niger.
