About the Country
One of Burundi’s core traditions is their “Royal Drummers” who exemplify national pride and joy. This percussion ensemble performs at official ceremonies, such as births, funerals and coronations of kings. Burundi is also rich in diversity, although between 1993-2005 a civil war broke out when two ethnic groups, the Tutsi and Hutu, fought over ethnic dominance. After years of war and displacement of families and children, Burundi now has an influx of returning refugees.
Prayer Needs
Please keep this nation in your prayers this week. While 90% of the nation is Christian, violence between ethnic groups continues. Pray for peace in Burundi. As refugees return, pray that God’s Kingdom will prevail and He provides this country with food, education and spiritual awakening. We pray that our staff remain safe despite strife between people groups in Burundi.
