Landoma of Guinea
The Landumas live much of their lives from hand to mouth, with little or no reserve of money or goods. The harvest of rice and/or millet is always gone several months before the next harvest comes in, resulting in much hunger. Often they find it necessary to go into debt in order to buy food, to buy seed to plant, to build a house, to get married, or to handle other large expenses. When a crop comes in, the debts must be paid. Most Landumas profess Islam; a few are Catholics. Regardless of outward religion, nearly all continue to hold to animistic beliefs.
Ministry Obstacles
Social interdependence and community solidarity make it very difficult for a Landuma person to make important decisions on his own. He must carefully consider how those he depends on will react.
Outreach Ideas
Christian workers need to minister to the physical and material needs of the Landuma, being genuinely concerned.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray the few followers of Christ among the Landumas will develop strong friendships with other believers, providing a new support system.
Pray for the entire people group
The Landumas need people to minister among them to help them learn better farming, business, and health practices. More schools are needed, as well.
