In the lowlands of Chad, the Lord is moving among the unreached Bua people, a nomadic group that currently follows a blend of Islam and animism. Islam is the majority religion in Chad, although about 10% of the population are evangelical Christians.
A local leader named Abdu*, has been ministering to the Bua for several years and sharing the gospel with them. During that time, he has discipled new believers and planted three house churches. But a few months ago, Abdu had to flee the area because of intense persecution. He continues to share the gospel among Muslims in a neighbouring country.
Mwamba* was one of Abdu’s disciples. He participated in the church work and spent many hours learning about Jesus, asking questions about the Bible and helping Abdu serve the Bua people. But, after Abdu left, Mwamba moved to the city to work in a business.
