Oromo, Hararghe of Ethiopia

Oromo, Hararghe of Ethiopia
The Hararghe Oromo are the descendants of the Barentu confederacy that moved toward the east of the Ganale River during the Oromo migration of the 16th century. They consist of the Ittu, Ania, Ala, Nole, Jarso, and Babile tribes. The Hararghe Oromo are a friendly and hospitable people. They are farmers and they also have livestock. They were able to occupy the land of the Harar uplands where they came in contact with the Somali and the Harar city-state. Many of the Hararghe Oromo were converted to Islam through the influence of the Harar city-state, which also became instrumental in spreading Islam to all other southern parts of Ethiopia.
Ministry Obstacles
The Hararghe Oromo have been Muslims for hundreds of years. Islam is part of their identity as a people.
Outreach Ideas
The few believers that are from among the people have left their community to join the Christian communities from other people groups. Pray they would be burdened with the spiritual need of the people they have left behind.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There is a small but growing body of Christian believers among the Hararghe. Pray they will be given a vision to take the message of Christ to all of their own people.
Pray for the entire people group
Please pray the Lord will draw increasing numbers of the Hararghe people to himself. Pray for reproducing church planting movements to occur, so that all of the people can hear the way to eternal life.
Scripture Focus
"Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day, and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations." Luke 24:46-47
