Introduction / History

Khisa is an endangered language. Most likely no one will be speaking it in 100 years.
Khisa speakers live in Cote d 'Ivoire, and Burkina Faso, West Africa.

What Are Their Lives Like?

They lack medical care, potable water and electricity.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Khisa speakers are 100 Sunni Muslim, but their version of this religion is tainted by the use of traditional religion. Instead of depending on Allah, the god of Islam, they depend on local spirit-beings.

What Are Their Needs?

Khisa speakers desperately need to allow Jesus Christ into their lives so he can transform their communities and provide them with abundant life. They need disciplers to teach them the ways of the Master.

Prayer Points

Pray for Khisa speakers to have safe, potable water in their homes and electricity.
Pray for open hearts that will respond to the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pray for a Disciple-Making Movement among the Khisa people.
