Reaching the Fulani People of Nigeria
There are more than 7,000 unreached people groups around the world. An unreached people group is an ethnic or cultural community with little to no access to the Gospel and without an established, self-sustaining Christian presence.
Canton First Methodist, along with District 4 of the North Georgia Conference, has adopted the Fulani people of Nigeria as an unreached people group, committing to intentional prayer and support as efforts continue to share the Gospel and establish churches among them.
The Fulani are primarily Muslim, and of an estimated 18 million people, only 0.28% are Christian. This ministry is especially meaningful because Fulani believers are being equipped to reach their own people with the hope of Christ.
Through a partnership with One Mission Society, 15 church planters will be trained over the next four years to plant churches and minister within Fulani communities. These efforts are already underway, with several Fulani Christians receiving support as they prepare to begin this work.
Your prayers and financial support can make a difference. Join us in praying for the Fulani people, the believers who are answering God's call to serve, and the church planters who will help share the Gospel and establish a lasting Christian presence in their communities.
Prayer Points
- Pray the Fulani would be able to care adequately for their families and be led to be better prepared for the rapidly changing conditions of the 21st century.
- Pray they would see the need to make schooling a priority for their children.
- Pray for Nigerian Fulani families to overcome their conflicts with Christian farmers so they can open their hearts and minds to the ways of Jesus.
- Pray for the Holy Spirit to arrange for a disciple making movement among the Nigerian Fulani.
Declare His glory among the nations." Psalm 96:3
