Jula of Mali
Pray

2025 Status Update

In the 14th century, the Jula started establishing trade routes and trading centers across western Africa, including the area now known as Mali. Today, they still live up to their name, which means “itinerant trader,” by working as merchants. Until a few years ago, there were no Jula believers among this Muslim people group. But praise God that new believers among the Jula in Burkina Faso felt God’s call to bring the gospel to their cousins in Mali. There are now some believers among the Jula of Mali.

Prayer Requests

Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with tambourine and lyre! For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.” (Psalm 149:3-4 ESV)
