Summary
Somali society is based on the nuclear family, which consists of a husband, wife, and children. The man is the head of his household. A typical family owns a herd of sheep or goats and a few burden camels. Some may also own a herd of milking camels. The more camels a man has, the greater his prestige. Each extended family moves across the desert as a single unit. They follow the direction of a council that is made up of the male heads of the households. A chief is elected to act as head of the council. The Somali clan units are highly articulate and politically conscious. They are built on family loyalty and formal contracts. Those who control water and grazing maintain their status through force, if necessary.
Obstacles
Islam goes unchallenged among the Somali people in Kenya.
How reach
There are thousands of strong Christians in Kenya who can reach out to these Muslims.
Pray for p g
Ask the Lord to raise up missionaries who can effectively reach out to Muslims. Pray for effectiveness of the JESUS Film among them. Ask God to anoint the Gospel as it goes forth via radio and television to the Somali. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the gospel. Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Somali.

Summary
The Garre are one of the Somali tribes. They converted to Islam in the 1400s. Today, the Garre claim to be virtually all Muslims, being very orthodox in their religious practices. The members of a Garre clan remain very loyal to each other, whether in Somalia or further south in Kenya.
Obstacles
Fear that Christianity undermines their identity, communities and traditions hinders Garre communities from accepting Christ's blessings.
Pray for p g
Pray for a movement of Jesus to heal and strengthen Garre communities in Kenya. Pray for the Garre Somali to understand and embrace that Jesus wants to bless their families and neighborhoods. Pray for the Lord to open the hearts of Garre family leaders to experience God's blessing through a movement of family-based discovery Bible studies. Pray for Kenyan believers to build bridges of friendship and trust with Garre family leaders. Pray that Garre who know Christ will become wise in sowing the word of God among their families and friends.

Summary
For many years the Digo have been involved in trade with Muslim Arabs. As a result, they have enjoyed a higher standard of living than most of their neighboring tribes. In addition to trading, farming and fishing are two other sources of income for the Digo. When a young Digo man marries, he must pay the normal bride price of four heads of cattle, two goats or sheep, and palm wine. He is then incorporated into the bride's family. Eventually, as he demonstrates leadership qualities, he will be accepted into the body of tribal elders.
Obstacles
Though the Digo are Muslim, they are not good Muslims. Their trade practices with Arab Muslims force them to remain in the Muslim camp. That means they will not seek other spiritual answers from nearby Christians.
Pray for p g
There is a strong Church in Kenya that can be used by God to reach the Muslim peoples like the Digo. Pray for this to happen. Pray that God will empower the Kenyan church with the ability and the strategy to reach the Digo tribe with the gospel. Pray that God will cause the Digo to become dissatisfied with their traditional religions and begin searching for the truth. Pray that Christian broadcasts will be made available in the area of Kenya where the Digo tribe is located. Ask God to give Christians open doors of ministry to the Digo tribe.

Summary
The Ajuran living in northeastern Kenya have their roots in the Muslim Ajuran dynasty in Somalia. They ruled over much of the Horn of Africa in the Middle Ages. Many of the ruined fortifications dotting the landscapes of southern Somalia today date to the Ajuran sultanate's engineers. During the Ajuran period, many people in the southern part of the Horn of Africa converted to Islam. At the end of the 17th century, the Ajuran state disintegrated into several successor kingdoms and states.
Obstacles
Opposition to Christians can be strong in parts of northern Kenya, where Muslims are in the majority. Overt Christian testimony can be dangerous.
Pray for p g
Pray that influential people within the Ajuran tribe, such as the imams, would be given a growing interest in spiritual truth leading them to the cross. Pray Jesus will reveal himself to some in a vision or dream. Pray that those workers presently reaching out to the Ajuran will be filled with wisdom and the fruit of the Holy Spirit. There may be a few followers of Jesus among the Ajuran. They very much need prayer support. Pray they would not waver in their commitment to Christ.

Summary
The Ajurans, like the other Somali tribes of Northern Kenya, have traditionally lived a nomadic lifestyle. Their way of life is dictated by the semi-arid climate, which features two distinct rainy seasons. They follow water and pasture for their animals, which include cattle, camels, goats, sheep, donkeys, and mules. The animals provide their livelihood. In areas where the land is suitable for farming, settled populations cultivate crops such as corn, millet, sorghum, fruits, and vegetables. The area in which the Ajuran live has relatively high rainfall, which provides good pasture for their animals. However, this blessing has on many occasions become troublesome to them in terms of marauding neighbors who also need the same resources. Periodic intrusions by others have resulted in clashes. Today, the Ajuran allow others to live and pasture their animals in their communal land.
Obstacles
Muslims like the Ajurans consider Jesus to be a prophet, a teacher, and a good man, but not God's son. They believe that they will be judged by their good works and by their knowledge of the Koran. Most deny Jesus was crucified, which turns them away from God's only way of redemption.
Pray for p g
Ask God to send medical missionaries and supplies to help meet the needs of the Ajuran. Pray for God to anoint the gospel as it is presented to the Ajuran via radio and television. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften their hearts towards Christians. Ask God to make the Ajurah receptive to the gospel and to raise up strong local churches among them.

Summary
Over 200 years ago Arab traders took Africans from their homes in Mozambique and Malawi to become slaves in Somalia. This slavery persisted until the 1930s, but afterward the Bantu remained severely oppressed. The Somali civil war of the 1990s was used as an excuse to steal land and property from the Bantu. Many were raped, beaten and killed during this time. Fleeing to Kenya, many Bantu found refuge in camps where a sizable number remain waiting to find a permanent home. Bantu Somalis in Kenyan refugee camps live in dire poverty and squalor. Women are often raped, and men beaten if they go outside the camp to find firewood. Many of them are being relocated to Tanzania or the United States.
Obstacles
Without a permanent home or schools for their children, the Somali Bantu lack the opportunity to hear about Jesus. Left for decades in a dismal situation, a message about a compassionate God King may fall on hopeless ears.
How reach
Kenyan Christians can insist on better treatment in the refugee camps for these Bantu. Bible studies and Disciple Making Movements can begin within refugee camps. Somali Bantu can encounter the generosity and love of Christ through his followers in Kenya
Pray for church
Pray that the troubles the Somali Bantu have had will lead them to Jesus Christ. Pray for a movement to Christ amongst the diasporas.

Summary
The Kenyan Arabs live in fishing villages along the coasts of Tanzania and Kenya in an area known as the Coastal Belt. They are concentrated in some of the ancient settlements along the coast and in cities such as Mombasa and on Kenya's Lamu Islands. Their culture is still very similar to that of the first Arabs (desert nomads or Bedouins) and refer to their ancestors as the "true" Arabs. Virtually all Muslim, many believe that the Koran provides hope for a better life for now and for eternity.
Obstacles
Because of their strong adherence to Islam, Kenyan Arabs have been reluctant to accept the idea of Jesus as savior. They need the JESUS Film and radio broadcasts to be widely available.
How reach
Some of the Kenyan Arabs also believe in spirits, so they practice magic to gain their favor. They would welcome Christ's servants who come as his hands to heal the sick and spiritually stricken.
Pray for church
The few Christian believers from this background need to allow the Holy Spirit to shine brightly among their Muslim neighbors.
Pray for p g
Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to the Kenyan Arabs and for persons of peace to welcome them. Pray for a movement to Christ among the Arabs of Kenya this decade.

Summary
Okiek artistry produces a rich range of verbal art, oratory, and song as well as diverse material objects. Schools are poorly equipped, but attendance has increased since the late 1980s. A handful of Okiek have now gone to secondary school, a few continuing to trade school or university. Okiek believe in a beneficent god (Torooret or Asiista) and ancestor spirits who can bring misfortune if they are forgotten or if wrongs are committed. Major Okiek ceremonies celebrate stages of social maturation: a headshaving ceremony where a child receives a new name; an ear-piercing ceremony at age twelve to fourteen (now rarely practised); and initiation into adulthood.
Obstacles
The Okiek people are not highly literate, and many need to hear the Gospel message in oral form.
How reach
The full Bible is available in the Maasai language, and other resources such as the Jesus film are available. Workers are needed to take these resources to the people. The Christians among this people need to be discipled and challenged to reach others with the Gospel of Christ.
Pray for church
Pray for unity among the Christian believers among the Okiek people. Pray they will regularly fellowship together, and live holy lives.
Pray for p g
Pray for peaceful relations with other tribes in the area of the Okiek, and for improving living conditions.

Summary
The Gujarati are primarily classified as the inhabitants of the state of Gujarat, western India. For most of them, Gujarati is their native language. Today there are significant Gujarati communities in some 27 nations with a large number in Kenya and Uganda. Gujarati who have emigrated are usually from the higher, wealthier castes and have maintained many aspects of their own culture. They are often involved in trade or operate small businesses.
Obstacles
People in the business community have very little free time. It would be difficult for Gujaratis in Kenya to attend Bible studies and church services.
Pray for p g
Ask the Lord to raise up loving missionaries who are willing to share Christ with the Gujaratis. Pray that God would give the mission agencies wisdom, favor and strategies for reaching the Gujarati. There is a strong Church in Kenya. Pray for indigenous Christians to share Christ with these Hindus. Pray that South Asian Christians would be bold in their witness for Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Gujaratis towards Jesus Christ and his claims. Pray that Gujarati businessmen would be evangelized and take the gospel to their own people. Ask the Lord to raise up strong fellowships of believers among the Gujarati.

Summary
The name Swahili literally means "coast," and is the name given to several people groups that share a common culture (Uswahili), language (Kiswahili), and religion (Islam). The Swahili language has many different dialects. For about 2,000 years, the backbone of the Swahili economy has been commerce no matter what part of Africa they live in. They worked as cross-national merchants trading spices, slaves, ivory, gold, and grain. Today, international commerce is still important to the Swahili but to a lesser degree. Many of the upper-class Swahili now manage small businesses, do clerical work, and teach school. The Swahili in Kenya have recently demonstrated an interest in Western culture. For example, in addition to attending Islamic schools, most children also attend non-religious schools to acquire a Western-style education.
Obstacles
Islam is one of the central parts of the Swahili identity. Anything “Christian” is seen as a foreign threat.
How reach
There are thousands of true Christians in Kenya who can reach out to the Swahili people on their coast.

Summary
The Ilchamus are a Maa people living south and southeast of Lake Baringo, Kenya. It's a poor community and lacks most modern facilities. There are education lacks and many can only communicate in their local language. It's a very traditional and culturally bound society, hierarchical, and male-dominated. They are pastoralists who also engage in fishing in small boats made of balsam trees. They are eager to learn new things, seemingly eager to create a better life.
Obstacles
The literacy rate for these people is not high. The good news of Christ needs to come to them in oral form, as well as in written form.
How reach
Please pray that Kenyan Christians of other tribes will be led by God's Spirit to take the Gospel to the Ilchamus tribe.
Pray for church
There are a few Christian believers among the Ilchamus people. Please pray for teachers to help them grow in the admonition and nurture of the Lord.
Pray for p g
Pray for rising literacy levels, and for the availability of good schools. Pray that parents will have a heart to help their children become well educated.

Summary
The Nubi tend to live less agrarian lifestyles than most East African tribes, although some farm small plots of land near their houses and raise livestock. They don't have a definite homeland. Many Nubi people are still employed in the military, as their ancestors have been for generations. However, many have become drivers, merchants, shopkeepers or craftsmen.
Obstacles
The Nubi are strictly and piously Muslim. Islam offers a forbidding counterfeit to the gospel of grace.
How reach
There are Christian materials that can be obtained by computer.
Pray for p g
Pray for progress in Nubi literacy work. Pray that community leaders would become open to the possibility of Bible translation in their language. Pray for Bible translation workers to help with this task. Pray for mature believers in the local community to intentionally reach out to the Nubi. Pray that God would open the hearts of the Nubi people to see who Jesus really is and be willing to follow Him, despite great social pressure. Pray that new Nubi believers will be able to stay within their families and communities, providing an authentic witness of what it looks like to follow Jesus as a Nubi person.

Summary
Their name used to be "slave" but now they are "free men." The name Malakote, ("slave") was given to this people group by the Somalis. The Somalis introduced them to Islam and enslaved them. The people today prefer to be called Ilwana, "free men." A Christian community among the Ilwana has provided refuge to Muslim Background Believers and other Christians when fighting breaks out and persecution is intense. They live along Kenya's Tana River. Kenya is home to East Africa's most vibrant Christian communities. They can reach out to the Ilwana. The Ilwana livelihood is based on farming, fishing, and beekeeping.
Obstacles
Intense community pressure among the Ilwana keeps them loyal to Islam.
Pray for p g
Pray for the Holy Spirit to give the Ilwana a deep desire for spiritual truth, that they may follow the Lamb of God, no matter what pressures they face. Pray that they may discover freedom in Christ. Pray for Christ followers to disciple Ilwana, who then in turn disciple others. Pray for a movement to Christ that will bless the Ilwana in every way.

Summary
The Aweer are a remnant hunter-gatherer group living along the Kenyan coast in Lamu District on the mainland. In the last 30 years, the Aweer have faced very difficult times. In 1967, their homeland became a battle field in the war between Kenya and Somalia. In Kenya today, they are a vulnerable group, struggling to survive, in search of a new identity. Traditionally they depend on their elders for leadership and do not normally meet for village discussion. There are some men who have more than one wife, and each wife has her own house in which she lives with her children. The husband does not have his own home but lives with each wife periodically.
Obstacles
In the past, the Aweer tribe has shown disinterest in following Christ, but recently they have been more open than in the past. Pray for growing interest.
How reach
Pray that some Kenyan and Somali Christians will develop a desire to minister to the Aweer tribe, overcoming any tribal hostilities that they may feel. Pray for any funding needs that might stand in the way.
Pray for church
Pray for the few Aweer followers of Jesus to be effective in demonstrating how Jesus blesses and heals families and neighborhoods. Pray for these believers of Kenya and Somalia, that they will have teachers sent to help them grow in Christ. Pray they will accurately understand the Gospel of grace, not having it mixed with requirements of works. Pray they will be obedient to follow Christ's teachings and commands, in response to grace.
Pray for p g
Pray the Aweer people will be given a desire to know Jesus Christ. Pray they will hunger to learn more about this Man, and will desire to follow his ways.

Summary
The Waata live in the forests of Kenya along the Tana river, Lamu District. They practice a mixture of Islam and animism, and have a low literacy rate.
Obstacles
Reliance on printed material to reach the Waata may not be helpful, given the low literacy rate.
How reach
The low literacy rate suggests that oral communication of the Gospel message may be most appropriate. Gospel recordings, films, and Scripture stories could be very effective. The mixture of Islam and animism in their belief system may indicate less dogmatism than might otherwise be true.
Pray for church
Pray for the few believers among the Waata, that they may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, and growing in the knowledge of God.
Pray for p g
Pray the Waata may soon have improved educational opportunities for their children. Also pray that each individual in the tribe may hear the Gospel message in his mother tongue and presented in an understandable manner.

Summary
Until the turn of the century, very little was known of the Daasanach, sometimes called the Merille. At that time, formal borders were created for many African countries, and the Daasanach found their traditional lands divided between Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya. Since then, these semi-nomadic people have moved as freely as possible across the borders of these countries, but this movement is being more and more restricted by border posts and entry formalities. The Daasanach are known for their fighting skills, and they are feared by their neighbors.
Obstacles
Ethnic identity is often tied in with ethnic religion. The Daasanach people have their own language and culture.
How reach
There are Daasanach Christ followers in Kenya who can take his glory to their people.
Pray for p g
Pray for the Lord to reveal his glory to the Daasanach people. Pray for them to have spiritual discernment and a hunger for truth. Pray for workers.

Summary
The Bushmen, often referred to as San or Khoisan, are the remnants of Africa's oldest cultural group. The Dahalo are one of the Bushmen groups. Bushmen are small in stature generally with light yellowish skin which wrinkles very early in life. Their social structure is not tribal because they have no paramount leader. Decisions are made by discussion and consensus. Bushmen believe in a mythical being, part trickster, part creator who is capable of great good but also of playing tricks on people. Most Bushmen believe that upon death the soul goes back to the great god's house in the sky. Dead people can, however, still influence the living and, when a shaman or witchdoctor dies, the people are very concerned lest his spirit become a danger to the living.
Obstacles
There is a lack of Christian resources available in the language of the Dahalo people. Pray for the soon creation and distribution of resources.
How reach
Christians need to become genuinely concerned for the downtrodden Bushmen, finding ways to assist them materially and physically.
Pray for church
There are indications there may be a few followers of Christ among the Dahalo. Pray they will be more than nominal Christians, but will be strongly anchored in Christ and will be faithful disciples.
Pray for p g
Bushmen groups have faced discrimination, eviction from their ancestral lands, oppression, and murder, amounting to a massive though unrecognized genocide. Pray for justice for these people, including land rights.

Summary
At one time the Midgan people were hunters and gatherers. Some performed circumcisions for other Somali people, which was considered an unclean profession. Though the Somalis are an ethnically cohesive group, they are divided by caste. The Midgans are among the least prestigious castes among Somali people, both in Somalia and Kenya. Surprisingly, the Midgan people in Somalia adhere to their tribal religion, while those in Kenya have converted to Islam.
Obstacles
It will be much easier to reach the Midgan people in Kenya where there is freedom of religion and a Christian majority than in Somalia where there is neither.
How reach
The Midgan people in Kenya need the opportunity to learn new trades and skills so they can get out of their low position. There are many dedicated believers in Kenya that can help them meet this need.
Pray for church
There are no followers of Christ among the Midgan people, so pray for the Holy Spirit to move in their communities.
Pray for p g
Pray for the Midgan people to be given the chance to encounter the Savior who loves and accepts all who come to Him. Pray for spiritual discernment and the ability to understand that Jesus Christ offers them the chance to become part of His high kingdom. Pray for a Disciple-Making movement to emerge among the Midgan people both in Kenya and in Somalia.

Summary
Asian migration to Kenya began with the construction of the Uganda railway between 1896 and 1901 when some 32,000 laborers were recruited from British India. Once the railway was completed, many of these laborers voluntarily settled in what is now Kenya. These early settlers were predominately from the Indian provinces of Gujarat and the Punjab. Most settled in the new town of Nairobi, which was the capital of the British protectorate. Unlike black Africans, Asians were permitted to reside legally in Nairobi in what was then a burgeoning white settler town. Despite varying degrees of acculturation, most Asians in Kenya and Tanzania have retained their strong Indian ties and traditions, and are a close-knit, endogamous community.
Obstacles
The Asians in East Africa are largely a closed society, with a self-protective mindset. They remain committed to their Hinduism.
How reach
Pray that African Christians living near these Asians will be given an interest and burden to share Christ with them. Pray the Lord will show them how to do that effectively.
Pray for church
Please pray for the few Christians among this people group to live as real disciples of Jesus, being obedient to his commands and filled with the Lord's Spirit.
Pray for p g
Pray for the Hindu Asians in Kenya and Tanzania to be given an interest in the creator God. Pray they will be given faith to believe in God's son Jesus, and that many will accept the gift of eternal life offered in his name.
