Jomang in Sudan
Sometimes a tribe is defined by its language. That is true of the Jomang, AKA, Talodi in Sudan. Most speak Sudanese Arabic, so this language might not last for more than two more generations. They live in southern Sudan where there is hostility between Muslim and Christian tribes.
Ministry Obstacles
Muslims like the Jomang speakers are often at odds with the Christianized peoples in Sudan and South Sudan. Christians are viewed as enemies, mainly because of conflict over land rights and political issues. How will people like the Jomang be willing to hear the gospel, since they view Christians as enemies?
Scripture Focus
"By this it is evident who are the children of God, and who are the children of the devil: whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is the one who does not love his brother." 1 John 3:10
Scripture Prayer
Pray for the believers in today’s people group to live righteously for the Lord and to love their brothers and sisters.
