South Giziga in Cameroon


South Giziga in Cameroon

Kirdi (meaning "pagan") is a broad, collective name for a number of people groups living in northern Cameroon, southeastern Nigeria and southwestern Chad. One of these groups is the South Giziga tribe. Most are farmers who raise crops on hillside terraces.

Ministry Obstacles

At this point, the South Giziga are becoming Islamized, which adds a thick barrier to the gospel of grace.

Outreach Ideas

The South Giziga believe in a single god who is the creator of all things and who keeps his creation in order. They believe that this god only intervenes with his creation when order has been disturbed. The Giziga do not pray to this god, but rather to their ancestors, whom they believe will intercede on their behalf. Beliefs about this creator god might be a bridge to biblical truth.

Scripture Focus

"O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water."  Psalm 63:1

Scripture Prayer

Pray that hundreds from this people group will earnestly seek God and find Him.

Prayer Focus

There are some Christians among the South Giziga, so pray that they would be salt and light to their community. Pray that the Lord would increase their hunger for the word of God and open their eyes to the truth. Pray for South Giziga believers to lead their people into a movement to Christ.
