In early 2024, two churches came to prayer walk, share the gospel, and develop relationships with the Bambara of Senegal. However, the Bambara are difficult to engage with, and, according to other people groups, they are at times closed to other Senegalese. Approximately 8,000 to 12,000 Bambara live near IMB personnel, who know of one believer.
“Still other seed fell on good ground and it grew up, producing fruit that increased thirty, sixty, and a hundred times.” (Mark 4:8 CSB)
