- For the Lord to open more doors to understanding hearts


Will you also begin to pray for the lost in Namibia along with us that the strongholds would be broken and that the freedom of Christ would reign in their hearts.


The Herero

The Herero are a cattle breeding nation known for the women wearing "cow horn headpieces" and long Victorian gowns. Their tribal traditions continue to remain strong. Today they combine Christian dogma with ancestor worship and magical ceremonies.






The Mbalantu

The Mbalantu, one tribe of the Ovambo nation, are a cattle breeding and farming society living mostly in isolation. Sadly, they are not isolated from extreme alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS and hopelessness. Traditional ancestor worship, divination and mystical ceremonies are still practiced. There is a lot of confusion and resistance to the Gospel.



The Nama

The Nama are closely related to the Bushman, having a similar Khoisan language, light skin and small frame. They rely greatly on stock farming, crafts, tribal traditions and a multitude of superstitions. Most Nama show no understanding of a personal relationship with Jesus.








The Coloured of Namibia
The Namibian Coloureds are a unique culture of racially mixed origin, African, European, and Asian descent. They mostly live around the Namibian cities and towns. Many are fishermen on the coast and stock farmers in the southern interior. They have little to no evangelical contact.
