Day 36: Less-Reached Peoples of Kenya
By Brooke MillerDuring this Secret Church on Good Friday, April 6, we are focusing our prayer time on the people of the Horn of Africa. Throughout the weeks leading up to Secret Church we will post information and prayer requests on this blog. We invite you to join us in learning about and praying for the people of the Horn.
Over the next two days, pray specifically for the following people groups in Kenya.
The Muslim Oromo-related peoples of the northeast have no churches among them.
The Rendille, Samburu, and Daasenach are largely pastoral, animistic peoples who live in the north and west parts of Kenya. There are very few believers among these people groups, but they are increasingly responding to the gospel.
Instability in Somalia has driven tens of thousands of Somalis into the northeast and cities of Kenya. They often bring their strife with them but are also more open to the gospel. Numerous Christian workers are reaching out to the Somali in Kenya.
The coastal Swahili and Arab populations are strongly Muslim and largely unreached. They tend to be quite resistant to outreach. Some Kenyan churches now minister to these groups.

Ways to Pray
- Pray for churches to be established among the Muslim Oromo peoples. Ask God to send Christ-followers from other people groups to witness among this group.
- Pray for well-led, culturally appropriate churches to be established among the Rendille, Samburu, and Daasenach.
- Pray for those working with Somalis in Kenya. Ask God to provide abundant opportunities for them to hear the gospel.
- Pray for Kenyan churches that are reaching out to Swahili and Arab peoples. Pray that they would share a testimony of truth, power, and love.
