Introduction

Toukaleur Fulani are primarily pastoralists but they may engage in trade in some areas. Their women often use henna around the mouth, resulting in a blackening around the lips. The traditional dress of the Fulani in most places consists of long colorful flowing robes, modestly embroidered or otherwise decorated.


Ministry Obstacles

The various Fulani groups have a long-standing, strong commitment to Islam. It's part of their identity. Christians need to help the Fulani with their material and physical needs, building bridges of trust and friendship in order to ever be heard.


Prayer Focus

Pray the Fulani will be able to provide adequately for their families, as they live in a harsh region.
There are a few followers of Jesus in the Toukaleur Fulani community. Pray they will be nurtured by God's Spirit and will become mature in the faith.
Pray that radical Islam will not overtake Senegal's Fulanis.
