Bauchi in Nigeria
The Nigerian Bauchi chief is called Agwam. They have a traditional attire called gudo (a woven clothing). They speak six dialects but also Bauchi and Hausa in most of their day-to-day community activities. They marry from within their ethnic group and intermarry with their neighbors. They are farmers who grow maize, rice, millet, yams, peanuts, potatoes, and beans.
Ministry Obstacles
The few Christians among these African people are not literate in the vernacular, and the Scripture has yet to be translated into their native language. There is no request for the Bible translation in the native language. Their response to the gospel is slow, and the church is not growing.
Scripture Focus
"This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." Psalm 118:24
Scripture Prayer
Praise the Lord that you have the privilege of praying for others to rejoice in Him.
Prayer Focus
Many vibrant Christ followers in Nigeria can reach out to the Bauchi.
Pray for many to take on this challenge.
Pray for an abundant harvest this year as a testimony of God's power and goodness.
Pray for the Bauchi Christians to become literate in the language they understand best so they'll be ready to read the scripture when it comes.
Pray that audio recordings of the Bible will be made for the Bauchis.
