The Nama, who honor their ancestors and traditions, value both visible and spiritual community. Following Jesus means leaving familiar spiritual systems and stepping into a new kind of community in Christ. This transition is difficult, yet small discipleship groups are creating safe spaces for honest questions and personal growth. In these groups, the Nama discover that Jesus doesn’t erase their identity. He transforms it, allowing their cultural values to find new meaning through faith in Him.
“But if someone obeys God’s teaching, then in that person God’s love has truly reached its goal. This is how we can be sure we are living in God: Whoever says that he lives in God must live as Jesus lived.” (1 John 2:5-6)
