Bangolan in Cameroon
PRINT VERSION:
SHARE:
There are nearly 300 people groups represented in Cameroon. One of these is the Bangolan tribe.
Like many other peoples in Cameroon, the Bangalan people must deal with armed insurgents invading their villages.
The Bangolan people will have a new museum dedicated to their culture.
The Bangolan people are about evenly divided between being Muslim and Christian. All of them adhere to some ancient African religious practices as well. There has been an effort to contextualize the Christmas story for Bangolan Christians.
The Bangolan people need protection in their villages.
Pray for the Lord to bless the Bangolan people with peace and protection as they deal with evil insurgents.
Pray for the Lord to provide them with an abundant harvest this year as proof of his love and power.
Pray for Bangolan disciples to make more disciples.
Scripture Prayers for the Bangolan in Cameroon.
