Senufo Senara

The Senufo Senara is a people group of 40,000 with approximately 50 Christians.  They are located primarily in Southwestern Burkina Faso.  Their religion is African traditional religion mixed with Islam.  There are some churches located in several of the Senufo villages, however, these churches do not appear to be reaching out to the Senufo people and there are many villages still without a gospel witness.  Work needs to be done in evangelism, but also in training and discipling those who are already believers.

Challenges in reaching the Senufo Senara:

• Remote villages.
• Lack of accessibility during rainy season (May-October) because of unpaved roads.
• Lack of resources in their language, although many speak Jula too.

Opportunities in reaching the Senufo Senara:

• Discipling and training new believers to reach out to other Senara people.
• Evangelizing in areas where many have never heard the gospel before.
