The Sabbori people live in Sudan’s Nuba Mountains.
The Sabbori people are farmers and livestock herders.
They practice traditional religion with a heavy dose of witchcraft.
In Oct 2023, a local soldier began evangelizing the Sabbori people using 18 MP3 Audio Bibles. At the time, there were 3 known believers in the whole people group. The response has been very positive with 45 people confessing Christ and studying 3 times per week. 19 of these believers being literate and able to lead others. “Even radical Muslims said they felt like they had been blindfolded and blocked from light completely.” Even though only 5% of the village has believed, already plans are underway to construct a permanent meeting place and the local village elders are supportive. For now, the church meets under a tree.
Community concerns were to clear landmines from the area, a couple of tarps, and a carton of soap.
Pray for hearts and minds to be open to the true gospel of Christ.
Pray for many Sabbori people to accept freedom from sin in Christ, and to share this gospel with many others.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move mightily in Sabbori villages and families.
Pray for the Lord to fight against those who stand in the way of the gospel.
Scripture Prayers for the Sabbori in Sudan.
