Introduction / History

Khisa is an endangered language. Most likely no one will be speaking it in 100 years. Khisa speakers live in Cote d'Ivoire, West Africa.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Though Cote d'Ivoire is fairly advanced by West African standards, there is still a need for medical care, potable water in every home and electricity. They need adequate roads to travel outside their communities.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Khisa speakers are 100 Sunni Muslim, but their version of Islam is tainted by the use of traditional religion. Instead of depending on Allah they depend on local spirit-beings.

What Are Their Needs?

Khisa speakers desperately need to allow Jesus Christ into their lives so he can transform their communities and provide them with abundant life.

Prayer Points

Pray for missionaries who will share Christ using appropriate music and drama.
Pray for Khisa speakers to open their hearts to the only Savior, Jesus Christ.
Pray for a Disciple Making Movement among this people group.
