Susu in Sierra Leone


Susu in Sierra Leone

The Susu live mainly in the coastal areas of Guinea, Sierra Leone, Senegal and Mali. They tend to reside where there are many marshes and waterways. They often favor marriages between cousins and live in extended family groups. The Susu combine their Islamic faith with traditional beliefs. They believe that ghosts and spirits inhabit the same land, and that witches have the power to change into animals and cause harm to their villages.

Ministry Obstacles

The Susu are influenced by spiritual forces. They need to recognize and embrace the truth of Christ.

Scripture Focus

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saint."  Ephesians 1:17-18

Scripture Prayer

Pray for spiritual wisdom and light for the leaders of today’s people group.

Prayer Focus

Pray for improved health care and good schools for the Susu. Pray for parents to make schooling a priority for their children. Pray that God would draw these people into the abundant life only Christ can offer. Pray for Jesus to set them free from wicked spirits. Pray the few followers of Jesus among the Susu would be quick to turn from sin and would live holy and righteous lives.
