groups along the coast of Mozambique. They were introduced to Islam over 1,000
years ago by Arab traders from the Gulf of Oman. Their ethnographic center near
the town of Moma fell under the influence of a powerful Muslim sultanate. This
influence continues even now, many centuries after the Portuguese colonized
Mozambique.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;">Since the late 1990s, missionaries from various groups,

people groups bordering the Makhuwa-Marrevone. IMB missionaries praise God that
there are now some baptized believers among the Makhuwa-Marrevone! We need to
keep praying for the gospel to spread and for healthy, multiplying churches to
be planted among them.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in;"><br /></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: 1.0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

routes and trading centers across western Africa, including the area now known
as Mali. Today, they remember their rich history through storytelling and
dance. Both Jula men and women live up to their name, which means “itinerant
trader,” by working as merchants. Outside of work, men usually devote
themselves to studying Islam while women cook, clean and care for children.
Obedience and honesty are highly valued by Jula, as well as community and respect

number less than 100,000 and are found only in the southern portion of Nigeria.
In the mid-19th century, a group of Okpamheri villages and towns gathered
together in unity to stave off slave raiders. Today, in a nod to their history,
the term “Okpamheri” can be used to mean “we are one.” The Okpamheri are very
hospitable and peaceful. They are typically farmers who live in a collection of
towns and villages in the Edo state of Nigeria. While the Okpamheri have their
own language, many from the younger generation do not speak it, choosing
instead to speak more predominant languages like English or Yoruba. <o:p></o:p></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">-<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

their king wields great power over the people and in villages around Djougou.
The kings of people groups in Benin hold the religious standard of their
people. For the Pila, this is a strict adherence to their mix of Islam and
African traditional religion. The Pila have been resistant to the message of
Jesus Christ. Although there are Christians of other ethnicities in Djougou,
typically the Pila do not intermingle with them. A mission organization called SIM
is finalizing the page layout for the entire Bible in Yom (the language spoken
by the Pila), and the team is recording the New Testament for an organization
called Faith Comes By Hearing. They are planning radio broadcasts in Yom with
follow up for seekers.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: 0in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;"> <o:p></o:p></span><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .1pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: .1pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; mso-para-margin-bottom: .01gd; mso-para-margin-left: .5in; mso-para-margin-right: 0in; mso-para-margin-top: .01gd; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">-<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

and Angola. Their name means “hunter of locusts,” and they are regarded by
their neighbors as fierce warriors. While the Salampasu are involved in hunting
and farming, they are best known for their elaborate masks, which hold great
significance in their sacred rituals as warriors. These masks are used to
initiate boys into the society of warriors and are earned through performing
specific deeds. The masks also act as guardians for the children and are
believed to have spirits dwelling within them. There are no known believers or
churches among the Salampasu.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Symbol; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span>Pray for God to send someone to share the hope

Democratic Republic of the Congo. Like the people groups surrounding them, they
predominantly practice African traditional religion. It is difficult to
pinpoint the exact location where the Seba live. Although Christian work is
happening among other people groups in the general area, the IMB does not know
if anyone is actively sharing the gospel among the Seba. Preliminary research
indicates there are no Bible translations, gospel recordings or “JESUS” film in
their language. Further research is needed to learn more about the Seba and
their access to the gospel.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"> <o:p></o:p></span><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"></p><ul><li><span style="text-align: left; text-indent: -0.25in;">Although we do not know much about the Seba, the

across several West African countries. They live in a dry, dusty climate in one
of the hottest regions of the world. Farming millet, corn and peanuts plays a
big part in their daily lives. Historically, Sonike men have also worked as
traders, so Soninke communities can also be found traveling all over the world.
These migrant communities maintain strong links with their families in West
Africa. Almost every Soninke is a Muslim, and Islam plays a dominant role in
their daily lives, with mosques and Qur’anic schools in most villages.</span><b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: "Franklin Gothic Book",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Pray</span></b></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in; text-indent: -.25in;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 107%;">·<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">For an openness among Soninke people to reading the Scriptures.

live in southeastern Mali. They are one of the four subgroups of Senufo peoples
living in Mali and are distinguished by their language. Many Syenara people
practice Islam, but when sickness or other troubles arise, they fall back on
the rituals from their traditional African religion, including sacrificing to
ancestors or placing fetishes in their homes or on their bodies for protection.
A small number of Christians are now worshiping in very small groups. Praise
the Lord for these dear brothers and sister and for their leaders who teach

million in the world. The Kanuri are traditionally sheep and cattle herders who
carry sticks to help guide their grazing animals or to chase them back home.
The Kanuri are Muslims and wash their faces five times a day for ritualistic
prayers. Because of this, their faces always look bright, and the name Kanuri
was given to them as it combines two words meaning “stick” and “light.” The
Kanuri do not know that there is a Good Shepherd who desires to lead them out
of the darkness and into the light.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0.1pt 0in 0.1pt 0.5in; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><br /></span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><b><i><span style="color: #663333; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: 8.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></i></b><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in; margin-left: .75in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; mso-add-space: auto; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria;">-<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;">

They have an
estimated global population of 2.8 million, with roughly 860,000 in South
Sudan. Christianity was introduced to the Zande during British rule in the
1800s, and Catholic and Protestant churches exist within this people group.

Sokodé, the historic Islamic capital of Togo, is also the central location for
438,000 Kotokoli people. The Kotokoli converted to Islam in the 1700s, and the
first mosque was built in 1820. However, under a veneer of Islam, traditional
African beliefs thrive. Sacrifices are performed before idols on mountains.
During the Day of the Kotokoli festival, ancestors are thanked for a good
harvest and Semasi warriors on horseback perform daring tests of strength.
Adosa, the Festival of Knives, consists of young men who, after drinking a “protection”
potion, run sharp knives over their stomachs. Many Kotokoli are subsistence
farmers and taxi drivers. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

spirits inhabit inanimate objects, often displays its practices in whatever

Tanzania are a rural, agricultural people of over a half a million who live in
the northeastern part of Tanzania. They are predominately Muslims, and although
they claim to know God, they have never truly yielded their lives to their
Creator. Islam has grown in strength and has brought a lot of confusion and
resistance to the spread of the gospel, thus forcing some missionary personnel
to relocate away from the Zigua. </span></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0in 0.5in;"><b><i><span face=""&quot", serif" style="font-size: 10pt; letter-spacing: 0.15pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></i></b></p><p align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0in;"><b><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Pray</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;"><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></i></b><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-left: 0.5in; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span style="color: #002060; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">For Great Commission
