Kujriya

The Kujriya live in 10 villages in the remote Nuba Mountains in the state of South Kordofan, Sudan. They are farmers and also raise livestock. On their farms, they cultivate sorghum and corn. There are no known schools or healthcare facilities in their villages. The Kujriya speak Sudanese Arabic. The primary religion practiced is Sunni Islam, following the teachings of the Koran.

Ministry Obstacles

There may be no Christ followers among the Kujriya. There are likely no Christians among their neighbors, either. How will they hear without a preacher? The remoteness of their villages and their dedication to the Islamic religion present significant obstacles.
