Communities where Christ is least known

Digo

The Digo are an East African tribe, concentrated in the southern coastal strip of Kenya between Mombasa and the border of Tanzania. It is rather surprising to find, in a country that is largely Christian, that the Digo are nearly all Muslim. The Digo have never been successfully reached with the gospel and their religious practices are deeply rooted in spiritism and folk Islam.

Orma

The Orma are a semi-nomadic people who live in the south-eastern parts of Kenya in Tana River and Lamu counties. The Orma are almost exclusively Muslim, and have been so for three or four generations. They are devoted in their faith, observing all the rites and religious festivals of Islam. Most of the Orma have never heard of Jesus as the Son of God, but only as a prophet, teacher, or a good man.

Prayers

1

Pray for successful outreach, disciple-making, and church planting among Muslim communities in the coastal areas and in northern Kenya.
