Tubu, Daza of Niger
The Tubu (or Toubou) are subdivided into two separate people, the Teda and Daza. They are believed to share a common origin, but now speak two distinct if clearly associated languages. Tubu life centers on their livestock. An individual's clan is very important to him. His clan has a reputed founder, a name, a symbol, and associated taboos. Though staunchly committed to Islam, the Daza Tudu incorporate some animism into their religious activities.
Ministry Obstacles
The Tubu are "staunchly committed to Islam."
Outreach Ideas
Bible portions are available in the language of the Daza Tubu, as are the Jesus film and God's Story video. Workers are needed to take these to the people.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Although there may be no followers of Jesus among the Daza Tubu at present, please pray for those who will soon come to Christ. No near neighbor groups have large numbers of Christian. Pray there will be an increase of vision to see this entire region reached.
Pray for the entire people group
The Daza Tubu are reputed to be quite poor. Pray for adequate rainfall for their crops and livestock, and pray for employment opportunities.
