The Bisa are mainly farmers in West Africa who practice a mix of Islam, animism, and ancestral worship. Conversions are rare due to persecution and rejection. In 2001, the Bible was translated into the Bisa language, which is spoken by more than a million people. IMB missionaries have shared their vision with Ivorian believers to reach the Bisa with the gospel, and a like-minded organization is also planning to engage them.
“As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty.” (Matthew 13:23 ESV)
