Borgu Fulbe of Togo
2025 Status Update
“The
Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the
sight of the nations.” (Psalm 98:2 ESV)
Some Borgu Fulbe families are responding to
Bible stories, especially the stories of Abraham and Joseph. One family has
listened to all the recordings of Bible stories an African believer gave them.
It’s challenging, however, that the African believer doesn’t speak the Borgu
Fulbe’s heart language. But they say God speaks to them in their dreams.
Prayer Requests
- · Ask God to raise up leaders among the Borgu
Fulbe who can make disciples in their heart language.
- · Ask God to continue to reveal Himself to
the Borgu Fulbe.
- · Ask God to open the hearts of the Borgu
Fulbe to the gospel.
