Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Bon Gula Chad
The Bon Gula people of Chad number approximately 3,800. Though they are nominally Sunni Muslim, most fiercely adhere to their traditional Marghai religion including sacred sites and revered animals. Only 0.42% are Christian adherents, and they have no Christian resources available in their language. With no access to the message of the gospel, the Bon Gula remain deeply unreached. Pray for workers to reach the Bon Gula, for Christian resources to be translated into their language, and for a movement to Christ to take root among them.
