The Krio Fula of Sierra Leone

The Krio Fula of Sierra Leone, numbering approximately 93,500 people, are Engaged yet Unreached. They are a Sunni Muslim community of mixed Krio and Fulani descent blending Sierra Leone's creole coastal heritage with pastoral Fulani roots, distinct from the nomadic cattle-herding core of the country's mainstream Fula. They mostly adhere to Folk Islam and Pular is their primary language.

Pray specifically for the Krio Fula of Sierra Leone

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
readPsalm 20:7

Pray for those who trust in anything other than the Lord to be convicted of their sin and learn about what Jesus did for them so that they can choose to trust in Him.

Then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
readGenesis 2:7

Pray that Christians will be able to share the hope of Christ with suffering people and that He will breathe new life into their souls.

Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.
readColossians 3:2

Pray that as people place their faith in Christ, they will set their minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, as they look to Christ for guidance and strength.

For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers, of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead.
read2 Corinthians 1:8-9

Pray that as people hear and believe the gospel, they will be faithful as they walk through trials and will have an opportunity to be a witness to others in this people group of the goodness of God.
