Gimma in Sudan
KEE-mah
We know very little about the Gimma (or Jam'a). Most likely, they are a rural people who must live near a source of water to survive in a dry land. Most peoples of Sudan are trying to make a living from farming, though only a small percentage of the land is arable. Sorghum and millet are grains that grow well in dry parts of Africa like the Gimma homeland.
Ministry Obstacles The Gimma are entirely Muslim. They probably view Christians as their enemies. It will not be easy for them to accept the centrality of Christ given that their teachers tell them that the Bible cannot be trusted.
Scripture Focus "Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long." Psalm 25:5
Scripture Prayer Pray that this very year many from this people group will seek the Lord for the right path to true righteousness and guidance.
Prayer Focus Pray that God would strengthen, embolden and protect the few Gimma believers.
Very few are Christian of any kind. Ask the Lord to save key leaders among the Gimma who would proclaim the gospel to their own people.
Ask God to raise up prayer teams who will begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession.
Pray that strong local churches would be raised up among the Gimma.
