Why are Workers Needed?
There are nearly one million Somali Bantu in the world, but only a few are Christians. Somali Bantus came to the U.S. as refugees, and many still need assistance adjusting to their new home. Evangelists are needed who are willing to cross a large cultural divide to make the gospel accessible to the Somali Bantu, who only have portions of Scripture in their main language.
