Description: The ethnogenesis of the
modern-day Nupe begins with the
founding of the Nupe kingdom
in the 15th century. Since that
time the Nupe have absorbed at least a
dozen peoples, which have all contributed
to the collective ethnicity.
Prayer Points:
• There are a few churches among the Nupe from missionary work in the past. Most of the churches have ceased to have an evangelistic impact on the majority Muslim population. Pray for spiritual awakening to come to these churches and for a vision to reach their Muslim neighbors.
• The last twenty years have seen a rapid increase in Islamic adherance among the Nupe, rising from 30% of the population to over 90% in many areas. Pray that the spiritual powers behind this advance might be bound and for the glory of God in Christ to be revealed.
• Pray for the eight church planting agencies working among the Muslim Nupe that God enables them to effectively cooperate together to see a disciple-making movement established all throughout Nupeland.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, move in your power among the Nupe. Establish your authority over all the powers of darkness in their midst through the name of your Son Jesus.
Every year 13,000 Nupe die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
