Description: The Zaghawa are a Nilo-Saharan tribe who descend from an ancient society and kingdom, dating back to at least the 7th century in what is modern-day Chad, Niger and Sudan. In the 1940s they converted in masse to Islam through the influence of West African Muslims traveling to Mecca on the Hajj.
Prayer Points:
• In Chad, the Zaghawa dominate politically, and the current president Idriss Deby is from their tribe. Pray for his salvation and ask God to use their influence to bring the hope of the gospel to the entire country.
• The Zaghawa in Sudan have been severely affected by the Darfur crises in Sudan where many of them live in refugee camps. Their children are often recruited as fighers in the rebel movements. Pray for the protection of this vulnerable generation and that God might raise up ministries to reach them with the love of Christ.
• There are no missionaries working among the Zaghawa and no Bible resources in their language. Pray that God might raise up Sudanese churches and agencies to adopt this group and send workers among them.
A Prayer: Heavenly Father, may the Zaghawa find their hope in your son Jesus and find healing and a refuge in his Name.
Every year 4,000 Zaghawa die without Christ, many of whom never hear the gospel in their lifetime. Let's do something to change that.
