The Nations


Revelation 5:9 “And they sang a new song: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation’.”

Revelation 7:9-10  After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.  They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands.  And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”

Pray for us as we learn more about each people group from Africa that we are working with here in southern Spain and the great opportunities that we have to share with these people.  Pray for our friends from the following people groups.  Some of them have no Bible in their language and have few if any known Christians among them.

People group name, country name, (friend’s name)
Fula from Senegal (Umi, Roogiatu, Cherno)
Serer from Senegal (Ami, Fatu, Ndeye, Mamadou, Fabak, Usman, Sidou)
Mandinka from Senegal (Ami, Mariama, Ansu)
Jahanka from Senegal (Maisatta)
Wolof from Senegal (Nguy, Sojna, Aliw, Adama)

Bambara from Mali (Adama)

Jahanka from Ginea (Mairiamma, Fatu, Dembo, Fatu, Fode, Mamadou)

Susu(Malinke) from Ginea (Sona)
Soninke from Mauritania (Mouna, Diary, Hadiatou, Momadou, Lemi, Issa, Fatou)

I found your postings very interesting.I'm learning the names of countries in the Near East, including those in Africa so they will be familiar when i see them. I read recently that Maurtania still has wide spread slavery of the lowest level of their own people even though it against their laws and that these people have been in slaved so long they do not even imagine or hope to get out. Do your friends from there ever talk about this? It so reminds me of how long it took our own people to give up our segregated practices even after our laws changed. God bless you as you minister where he sends.
