THE GWA PEOPLE GROUP

State found: Bauchi state (Toro LGA)
Population: 2520
Religion: Africa Traditional Religion
Language: Gwa
Bible translation: NO
Christian: 3%
Evangelical: 2%

History
The Gwa people exceled as hunters, but now they are more likely to be farmers.

Where Are they Located?
The Gwa people group are located in Saminaka Gwa, a village in Toro local government of Bauchi State. To get to this community from Jos, move to Magama along Bauchi road, from Magma to Ganjole, from Ganjole to Saminaka Gwa (Old and New).

What Are Their Lives Like?
They formerly settled in a location which was at a distance to the present Gwa village. Because they are hunters, they go to the interior forest to hunt. After killing the animals, they encountered the challenge of moving the carcass to their settlement where they would sell the meat. They established the habit of preparing it and cutting it up for easy carriage. Eventually they established a new village near where they hunt. Since the land is also fertile, they engaged in farming as well. Hausa culture is gradually dominating the Gwa culture.

What Are Their Beliefs?
It should be noted that the Gwa people group had their own native religion in the past. Now they blend that with Islam, resulting in folk Islamic beliefs. Officially they are Muslims, but their daily lives are dominated by the same gods that they worshipped before the arrival of Islam.

What Are Their Needs?
Reach the Rest has mobilized ECWA church to the field and that has given many Gwa people the opportunity to hear the gospel for the first time. The Gwa need workers, as well as hearts that are open to the life-giving gospel.

THE GERUMA PEOPLE

The Guruma people live in northern Nigeria, in an area where Sharia law has been imposed. They are primarily located in four main villages in Bauchi State. The Geruma are ruled by the Gera people, and because of this they have adopted Islam. Their literacy rate is low. Their language is shifting from Geruma to Hausa, the dominant language and culture of the area.


Ministry Obstacles
The Geruma people are resistant to the Gospel of Christ, and they live in an area where Sharia law is in effect. Much care must be taken by anyone approaching them with the Gospel.


Outreach Ideas
Christian recordings are available in the Geruma language, and many resources are available in the Hausa language. Workers are needed to make these available to the people.


Pray for the Followers of Christ
There are Christians in some of the nearby people groups. Pray they will see their part of the Great Commission and reach out to the Geruma.


Pray for the Entire People Group
Pray the Geruma tribe will be given a growing desire to learn more about Jesus (whom Muslims call Isa al-Masih), as he is mentioned in the mosque. Perhaps he will come to some in dreams and visions.
