The least-evangelized. There are more unreached peoples in Chad than in any other African country. A number of agencies, cooperating admirably, are making progress with previously unreached peoples. The major people-cluster challenges: The Saharan peoples (all Sunni Muslims) are politically dominant. They live predominantly in the northern deserts, Tibesti Mountains, northern shores of Lake Chad […]

Only 10 languages have a complete Bible, and fewer than 100 have any Scripture portion at all. Pray for: Existing translation and literacy projects. CABTAL (Cameroon Association […]

A number of these groups have been started by other African evangelists – in particular Nigerians – rather than by Westerners.
