The Batahin and the many other Baggara tribes of northern Sudan share many cultural characteristics and claim a common ancestry. All of them speak an Arabic dialect known as Baggari, which can be understood by both Arabic and Sudanese Arabic speakers. The Batahin are nomadic cattle herders.

Ministry Obstacles: It is difficult to share Christ with people on the move. Missionaries to the Batahin will have to be willing to give up basic comforts to extend his kingdom to these nomads.

Scripture Focus: "Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent."
- Revelation 2:5

Prayer Focus: Pray for this people group to repent and to make Jesus Christ the first love of their lives. Ask God to raise up faithful prayer teams to begin breaking up the soil through worship and intercession. Pray that the Christians living in Africa would be stirred with a vision for outreach and a genuine burden to reach the Baggara tribes. Ask the Lord to raise up a network of fellowships among the Batahin.
