Tunni in Somalia


Tunni in Somalia

The Tunni are in southern Somalia, between the Juba and Shebelle Rivers. This region has the richest agricultural land in the country. The Tunni are primarily farmers. They live in round huts with mud walls and cone-shaped grass roofs. The dress of both men and women closely resembles a Roman toga and is typically white or gray. The Tunni are completely Muslim. Although they are orthodox in their religious practices, few have a deep understanding of their faith.

Ministry Obstacles

Somalia is a harsh land, and the Tunni people are strongly committed to their current faith. There are no known Christians among them.

Outreach Ideas

There is a need for much sustained prayer to prepare these people to hear and embrace the good news about Christ.

Scripture Focus

"So that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."  2 Thessalonians 1:12

Scripture Prayer

Make this your prayer for today’s people group.

Prayer Focus

Pray that Tunni believers would quickly understand that the basis for their new faith is the finished work of Jesus Christ, not their own merit. Pray for peace in Somalia, that all peoples of the country may be blessed. Pray for a stable, effective government. Pray for workers to go to the Tunni community, leading to an unstoppable movement to Christ.
