Wassulu of Mali, Guinea, and Cote d’Ivoire

(WAH-soo-loo) – Indigenous workers among the Wassulu have earnestly pursued visiting scattered believers and sharing the gospel despite risks from jihadist attacks and political unrest. Unpredictable fuel availability and travel regulations have also altered their plans. Give thanks to the Lord for two bold shepherds who recently visited three villages under difficult circumstances. They taught from the Word on “how to keep faith during trials,” focusing on challenges that Christians may encounter. While in “Dalton,” they learned that jihadists had recently visited that village, called everyone to the mosque, and threatened to destroy the village if anyone reported them to authorities. Pray for isolated believers among the Wassulu who long for fellowship and often struggle under persecution from family members and villagers. Pray for boldness tempered with godly wisdom and discernment as plans are made for additional trips to remote Wassulu villages. Pray for the well-being of believers in “Dalton,” and ask that more among them may come into a saving relationship with God through Christ, the Redeemer.
