ARBORE, ERBORE OF ETHIOPIA

Arbore, Erbore of Ethiopia The Arbore people live west of the Woito river (which flows from north to south into the swampy plain which was once lake Stefanie), northeast of the lake, and on the right bank of the lower Sagan. They are very active traders and spread into distant areas. They exchange cattle for agricultural products from the Amare Kokke and acquire worked iron from the Kerre and Borana. They build their huts slightly oval in shape. The Arbore have a bodily mutilation of raised dots on the chest and abdomen. They believe in a Supreme Being creator and father of men whom they call Waq. Ministry Obstacles Spiritual opposition will almost always be present when Jesus is presented. Pray against this, so the Arbore will be free to understand and believe the message. Outreach Ideas There are many evangelical Christians in Ethiopia. Pray that some of these will be given a burden to take the Gospel to the Arbore people. Pray for the followers of Christ There are probably about 100 individuals in this tribe who are evangelical Christians. Pray they will be taught accurately the ways of Christ, live in harmony with one another and live holy lives. Pray for the entire people group Please pray the Arbore tribe will soon hear accurately of who Jesus is, and what he has done for them. Pray they will hear this message several times, and in different formats.
