Introduction / History

Betoye people are slash and burn agriculturalists who supplement their food supply through hunting and fishing. For their own consumption they grow cassava, bananas and corn. They have far less big game hunting today, so they capture smaller animals instead. They only fish in the summer when the water level is high.

Though they have a number of Roman Catholics among them, the Betoye people are mainly animistic, worshiping natural forces like their ancestors.

What Are Their Needs?

Like all other peoples of the world, the Betoye need to put their hope and trust in Jesus Christ.
