The Fulakunda of Senegal

 The Fulakunda of Senegal are one of the 5 people group focuses for this month. Would you take time to pray for them today?

Fulakunda of Senegal 

The Fulakunda — a subgroup of the Fulani — are traditionally herdsmen throughout West and Central Africa who intermarried with another people group in southwestern Senegal. These nearly 2 million Fulakunda people are overwhelmingly Muslim, holding steadfast to their beliefs and traditions. The men will take up to four wives who are in charge of most of the household work and rearing of the children. The husbands are often traveling for work or to herd the livestock. Many times, the women’s consistent presence gives them the most influence in their family.

Pray:

· for Fulakunda women to discern truth from false teachings and to be the bringers of the gospel to their people through their influence.


· that God will allow all Fulakunda to understand the gospel through written Scripture or oral traditions and come to faith in Christ.


· that the Lord will make a way for Fulakunda believers to be discipled well and be bold witnesses and disciple makers.

“Jesus replied to them: “Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah,’ and they will deceive many.” (Matthew 24:4–5 CSB)
