Pray for Fulani peoples of Nigeria

In Nigeria many of the 15+ million Nigerian Fulani stay in small settlements and cities in Nigeria’s predominantly Muslim northern region. There are numerous sub-tribes and clans of the Fulani but in Nigeria they generally fall into five large groups: The Adamawa (1.1 million) the Haabe (2.6 million), the Sokoto (2.7 million), the Toroobe (7.5 million) and the Mbororo (2.3 million).

The vast majority of the Fulani in Nigeria are no longer nomadic. But they trace their origins to the nomadic, pastoral lifestyle. Fulani households consist of a male leader, one or more wives, six to 12 or more children and other family members.

While the Jesus film and gospel portions have been put into the Fulani language (Fulfulde), there are still very few Christians who are reaching out to this people. Even so, God has done marvelous things in bringing some Fulani to himself.

Prayer Starters:

• Pray for laborers. There simply are not enough Messianic believers proclaiming the Good News to the Fulani.
• Ask the Lord to touch Fulani leaders and imams that they may become obedient to the Lord Jesus (Acts 6:7).
• Pray for increased understanding among the followers of Jesus and Muslims in Nigeria. Peacemaking and repairing the decades of strife and civil unrest between Muslims and those who follow Jesus is a major necessity.
