Ministry Projects : OneStory Orality Program in the African Fulfulde-Kano Language
In the African countries of Niger and Nigeria, the Fulfulde-Kano language group numbers around 1.7 million people, yet only one percent are Christian. With 99 percent of the language group following a religion which shuns the teachings of Jesus, no Christian program has ever been created for speakers of Fulfulde-Kano. Being an oral culture, this language group learns through listening to stories and illustrations, not through traditional preaching or written materials. They need to hear the stories of the Bible, to understand that Christianity is true and relevant to their lives.
To meet the needs oral cultures such as Fulfulde-Kano, TWR has joined with four organizations to create the OneStory Partnership. Through this vital joint venture, the Fulfulde-Kano producer has obtained specialized training and been equipped with the tools and understanding he will need to present the Word of God through chronological Bible storying. For 15 minutes, five days a week, listeners will hear the Scriptures through Bible stories, following the historical timeline toward the light of Jesus Christ.
Your gift of $100 will help this oral culture in Africa with the good news of Jesus Christ.
