Most Pulaar Fulani live a rural life. They raise livestock, farm and fish. They live in small villages in round huts made of clay or rough bricks, with straw roofs. The Pulaar marry within their class divisions, women usually between the ages of 16 and 18, and men between the ages of 25 and 30. Although female genital mutilation is becoming increasingly illegal, over half of Pulaar girls from the ages of three to nine undergo ritual genital circumcision to be considered “clean” and worthy of marriage. The Pulaar (or Tukulor) are thought to have descended from the Fulani and the Wolof or Serere tribes.

With few or no Christ followers, the Pulaar Fulani in Guinea-Bissau live their lives without hearing the gospel or challenging their Islamic beliefs. They do not know about grace coming by faith in a sin-free savior.

Pray for loving gospel workers to catch a vision for reaching the Pulaar Fulani and that in God's sovereign timing the hearts of these people would be open and ready to follow him.
Pray for Jesus movements to bless extended families so the gospel will spread rapidly.
Pray for the spiritual lives of the Pulaar Fulani to become fruitful so others will be drawn to Jesus Christ.
Pray for Christ followers from other parts of West Africa to be Christ bearers to the Pulaar Fulani.
