Senegal

Mandingo/Mandinka in Senegal: Nearly 2.5 million Mandingo or Mandinka people live across eight countries. Though they have the Bible, they are still categorised as unreached, most markedly so in Senegal, where they are indigenous. Pray for Mandinka leaders to open the door for workers to live among the Mandingo and build lasting relationships with them.

Jola Bible launch: For nearly 15 years WEC missionary Miran and her colleagues have been translating the Bible into Jola. Recently literacy teams have been going into Jola villages, teaching the people to read and write in their own language while sharing Bible stories. Now the Jola Bible is printed and arrived in Senegal. The formal launch took place in Sibanor on 2nd July. Praise the Lord that now the Holy Spirit can speak directly through Scripture to these people. Pray for every copy to bless Jola believers and bring salvation to whole families and communities.
