Biafada, Biafar in Guinea-Bissau
Like most of the people in West Africa, the Biafada
are farmers and raise livestock. The Biafada language does not yet have
any scripture at all. The people are open to hearing God's Word, yet
there are many obstacles to overcome. This language group lives within
the enemy's stronghold, with a strong adherence to the dominant religion
of this area mixed with spirit worship. Persecution for new believers
is very intense. Ten new believers were denied food and shelter, and
eventually renounced their faith. Significant challenges should be
expected.Ministry Obstacles Spiritual opposition can be expected whenever Jesus Christ is presented. Pray this will be overcome and the people will find freedom to understand and believe. Outreach Ideas There are a number of Christians in Guinea-Bissau. Pray that the Lord will lead some of these to befriend the Biafada people, and share Christ with them. Pray for boldness to do this, with tact. Pray for the followers of Christ There is mention of a few followers of Jesus among the Biafada in Guinea-Bissau. Pray they will reach out to their neighbors with the gospel and that they will seek encouragement in growing in the knowledge of Christ. Pray for the entire people group Pray the Biafada tribe will increasingly be drawn to Isa (Jesus) as they hear the Koran read in the mosque. Pray they will be given much curiosity to find out more about this man who is so much more than an honored prophet. 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 |
