Day 18: The Less-Evangelized Peoples of Ethiopia Posted: 16 Mar 2012 11:00 PM PDT During this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Throughout the weeks leading up to Secret Church we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn. Photo Courtesy of Daniel Phillips Thirty people groups in Ethiopia—accounting for 25 million people—have been identified as unevangelized. Pray specifically for these groups over the next few days. Many thousands of Somalis have crossed into Ethiopia, fleeing the violence at home. Ethiopian ethnic Somalis number 4.5 million and are one of Africa's least reached peoples. Ministry to these people comes at great risk and personal cost to those sharing. Many sections of Oromia, especially in the east and south, are strongly Muslim and increasingly assertive within the federal framework. A number of Christian organizations reach out despite some hostility toward Christianity. Intertribal Oromi warfare has disrupted much work but gives opportunity to show compassion. The many peoples of the southwest, bordering on Sudan, are isolated and smaller in numbers; some are nomadic. Nearly all are now engaged by Christian workers. Ways to Pray Pray that Somalis seeking safety in Ethiopia will hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. Pray that those ministering to the Oromi will press on despite opposition. Pray for healthy churches to be planted among the peoples southwest Ethiopia.
