Please pray for the Sonde People of DRC. These people are part of the 55 UUPG's which we are trying to reach in the next 5 years.
Sonde of Democratic Republic of the Congo
The Sonde people live along the Kwenge River in Western DRC. Although most of the Sonde claim Roman Catholicism, they are very steeped in animism with a strong fear of evil spirits and fetishes. They are known for witchcraft and for casting spells on anyone who is a threat to them—including the perceived threat posed by Christian pastors and evangelists. There is no printed Bible portion available in their Kisonde language.
Pray:
· for the six Sonde Christian men and women who are currently putting stories from God’s Word into the Kisonde language. Ask for their protection and unity.
· for the Bible story clubs that have reached more than 15 people and are attended by 131 more.
· that many more Sonde will come to Christ through the bold proclamation of His Word by faithful followers of Christ.
“And
fear fell upon them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was extolled.
Also many of those who were now believers came, confessing and divulging
their practices. And a number of those who had practiced magic arts
brought their book together and burned them in the sight of all. And
they counted the value of them and found it came to fifty thousand
pieces of silver. So the word of the Lord continued to increase and
prevail mightily.” (Acts 19:17–20 ESV)
