Ngando of the Democratic Republic of the Congo
Most Ngando are farmers, but due to a lack of transportation, it is difficult to get their harvest to market. As a result, they remain impoverished. There is some fishing and gathering, but most live day to day. Some who graduate from school are employed in small businesses and the public sector. Most are nominally Christian, but there remains a strong adherence to divination. Two cults exist, the largest of which is Kitawala. Kitawala belief is that Jesus is the God of white people and Kitawala is the god of black people. They claim vaccinations are a white man’s strategy to kill African children.
Pray:
· that Christians would walk in God’s ways so that their lives would be visibly different from those around them.
· that God would give Christians courage to speak out against divination and other unbiblical practices.
· that God would work in their lives in such a way that those around would see that He is the only God.
May
the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers; may He not
leave us or forsake us, that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to
walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments. ... And may these
words of mine ... be near to the LORD our God day and night, that He may
maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel,
as each day requires, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that
the LORD is God; there is no one else. (1 Kings 8:57-60 NASB)
