Garre Oromo in Kenya
GA-ree oh-ROH-moh
The Garre are one of the Somali tribes. They converted to Islam in the 1400s. Today, the Garre claim to be virtually all Muslims, being very orthodox in their religious practices. The members of a Garre clan remain very loyal to each other, whether in Somalia or further south in Kenya.
Ministry Obstacles
Fear that Christianity undermines their identity, communities and traditions hinders Garre communities from accepting Christ's blessings.
Scripture Focus
"They shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and I will declare your greatness." Psalm 145:6
