The Gabbra

The 89,000 Gabbra people live in the Chalbi desert in Kenya, close to the border with Ethiopia. They are semi-nomadic and raise camels and other livestock. The Gabbra believe in a God who gives rain as he pleases and in “merciless” justice, where grace is unknown and wrongs are righted by payment. Islam is growing in the area by building mosques in each town and promising education and finances. Workers continue to distribute Treasures (small mp3 players, with a solar panel on the back) among the Gabbra. The Treasure is an effective tool for reaching Gabbra. The herdsmen especially enjoy listening to the Bible while they watch their animals. Pray for those listening to the Bible, that they may hear and understand the truth of Jesus and come to find him as their Saviour. Thank God that more villages are opening to the gospel and asking for Bible studies to start. Pray for many to respond to the gospel! Also, praise God for good rains this year which have lifted hearts, after several years of failed rains led to many livestock deaths.
