Introduction / History
Ancestors of the Fungor people lived in a village called Fungor in the Nuba Mountains. They have their own language, Ko, but most also speak Sudanese Arabic.
What Are Their Lives Like?
Most of the Fungor people are farmers who grow peanuts and sorghum. They also grow cotton as a cash crop.
What Are Their Beliefs?
They are Muslims. But like most Muslims in Africa, the Fungor also depend on the spirit world for their daily needs. They believe Allah is too distant to help them with practical needs.
What Are Their Needs?
The Fungor people need to be introduced to the Lord, who can meet all their physical and spiritual needs. He promises to take care of them, just as he cares for the sparrows. The spirits they serve greatly hinder their spiritual lives.
