Introduction / History

Mozambique’s Senjis speak Nadau.


What Are Their Lives Like?

They grow and eat their own food: leafy greens, maize, cassava, millet, and beans.

Families are extended, like most Bantu peoples of Mozambique. They have strong kinship ties that affect who one can marry.


What Are Their Beliefs?

Senji religion blends their traditional African practices with either Islam or Christianity. Since they speak Ndau, a common language in southern Africa, they have a full Bible, the JESUS Film, and audio materials.


What Are Their Needs?

Poverty is a curse for the Senjis. Most are subsistence farmers with little or no chance for an education, which would give them the opportunity to open new economic doors.


Prayer Items

Pray for the Senjis to have new opportunities for economic growth.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in Senji families and churches, drawing them closer to the King of kings.
Pray for many to be thrust out as workers to those who lack a gospel witness.
