Communities where Christ is least known
Mandingo (Manya)
The Mandingo people are located in northwestern Liberia, near Guinea. They are farmers growing rice, peanuts, beans and vegetables. Trading is important for them, causing many to travel far from home to trade. Many Mandingo in urban areas work as shopkeepers or auto mechanics.
Today, the majority of Mandingo are Muslim; however, their Islam is mingled with their traditional African beliefs. The Mandingo belief that spirits are good, evil or mischievous is derived from Muslim teachings. Also, Islam approves the use of magic to obtain healing from disease, prevent misfortune and assure prosperity and success. Only a few of the Mandingo are Christian believers, and there is no indigenous church established yet.
