The Wolof follow a mystical form of Islam known as Sufism. They believe in good and bad spirits, and they consult a local spiritual leader with supernatural powers to make decisions. Although the New Testament, parts of the Old Testament, and additional audio resources are available in Wolof, we know of only one believer among the 64,000 Wolof of Mauritania. Persecution is high. Even foreigners have lost their lives.
“Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” (Isaiah 43:19 ESV)
