Communities where Christ is least known

Nomadic cattle herders

Traditionally nomadic cattle herders of West Africa have migrated into Togo, coming south from Burkina Faso and west from Benin. Well over 100,000 of them are now spread throughout the country, with a larger concentration in the north. Some continue the nomadic lifestyle, herding their cattle over great distances in search of pasture and water.
Others have settled down, often living in small villages around those who practice the same religion. Many still have cattle and herd them over smaller areas, while others earn a living through farming, selling milk and cheese, or running shops. The majority hold to their distinct culture, but this is more difficult for those who live among other people groups and whose children attend school. Togolese tend to marginalise this people group, and there are frequent cases of conflict between the herders and neighbouring farmers.
Nomadic cattle herders are extremely resistant to Christianity. Usually, a gospel presentation from an outsider is rejected immediately. However, intentional friendships and the Holy Spirit’s power can break through barriers, as in the case of Amadou, who came to know the Lord through the kindness of Christians during his brother’s illness and eventual death. Before deciding to follow Jesus, those on mission among this people group undergo a long process of developing trust and confidence.

Prayers

1

Pray for Togolese Christians to develop love and a burden for reaching their unbelieving neighbours.

2

Pray for communities of Christ followers to be established within least-reached people groups, specifically the Met, the Tchamba, the Bago, the Koussountou, the Fulani and the Lokpa.

3

Pray for funding for a farming and disciple-making project to assist new Met believers; wisdom during the start of the project.

4

Pray for maturity in church planting, disciple making, mission outreach and leadership training for ECWA-Togo churches.

5

Pray for the planning of leadership development initiatives for pastors, elders and missionaries, with particular attention to ECWA’s new Bible institute.
