Mararit of Chad

Mararit of Chad
The Mararit are mostly settled shepherds, and plant small-scale gardens. The men do most of the field work and trade at local markets. Women also help work in the fields, engage in basketry, pottery, and other crafts, and brew beer from millet both for consumption and to sell or trade. They live in village compounds, each ruled by its own chief. Each village chief answers to a territorial chief, who in turn, answers to a higher government official. The literacy rate is quite low.
Ministry Obstacles
Since the literacy rate is low for the Mararit, the Gospel needs to come in oral forms as well as in printed forms.
Outreach Ideas
Perhaps workers trained in telling stories from scripture will be sent to the Mararit. Also, Gospel recordings are available in the Mararit language.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There are probably no followers of Jesus among the Mararit today. Pray that workers will be sent soon, and that the Lord is now preparing people to hear and respond.
Pray for the entire people group
Please pray for adequate rainfall, that people will be able have good yields for their crops and grass for their livestock.
Scripture Focus
"Through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations." Romans 1:5
