The different Somali Bantu groups are united primarily because of the racial discrimination they face within Somalia. Most Somalis will not intermarry with Somali Bantus, and some will not even eat with them or enter their house. During the civil war in Somalia, Somali Bantus were one of the most vulnerable groups and suffered horribly at the hands of clan militias and criminal gangs. Many have left Somalia.

Fear that Christianity undermines their identity, communities and traditions is one way Satan uses to hinder Somali Bantu communities from accepting Christ’s blessings.

Pray for believers to build bridges of friendship and trust with Somali Bantu family leaders.

Pray that Somali Bantu people who know Christ will become wise in sowing the Word of God among their families and friends. * Pray for a strong movement of the Holy Spirit will bring entire Somali Bantu families into a rich experience of God’s blessing.
* Pray for Somali Bantus to become disciples and make disciples who will make even more disciples.
* Pray for the Holy Spirit to give the Somali Bantu people teachable and understanding hearts.
