Worodougou of Cote d'Ivoire
Many Worodougou are subsistence farmers in small
villages, raising rice, corn, yams, cashews, and cotton. Some of their
children have moved to larger cities. Their grandfathers were the first
to become Muslims. But in most of the small villages they are "Muslim"
in name only. Most don't go to the mosque. It is their mask and
spirit/ancestor worship that really holds their attention. People are
afraid of sorcerers, death, hell, and their ancestors, and spend most of
their money on "protection" of various sorts. Funerals are a huge
expense, with different days of ceremonies, because of ancestor
veneration. The Koran is memorized without comprehension except by
higher level students. Whoever has money has to send their oldest
relatives to Mecca.Ministry Obstacles No scripture is reported as available in the Worodougou language, nor are other evangelistic materials. Outreach Ideas Please pray that workers who know how to tell stories from scripture in the language of the Worodougou will be sent to this tribe. Pray for the followers of Christ There are Christian believers within the Worodougou tribe. Pray these individuals will find each other in order to find and provide encouragement. Pray they will learn to study scripture and pray together. Pray for the entire people group Pray for rising literacy levels among this tribe, and for employment opportunities. Pray these people will be delivered from fear through trust in Christ. Scripture Focus "How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent?" Romans 10:14-15 |
