The Bambara are the majority people group in Mali, a neighboring country to Senegal, but many try to leave Mali for a better education, better jobs, or even to flee instability within their country in recent years. Those in Senegal, like those in Mali, devote themselves to Islam and its five pillars. While some Bambara have established themselves in the larger cities of Senegal, most reside in Bambara-exclusive villages. Those in the villages are mostly farmers, dependent upon the rains and good crops to sustain their lives.
Pray
- Pray that believers in Senegal will be bold witnesses to the Bambara living there.
- Ask God to place the Bambara Bible before the Bambara of Senegal so that they will listen to or read it. Pray they will have a desire to know more.
- The Bambara of Senegal have influence because of their education and jobs. Pray they will come to faith in Christ and use their influence to reach those around them and those back in Mali “30, 60 and 100-fold.”
