pronounced: JOO-lah
The Dyula live in clans, and the clan is the most important aspect of their lives. The people are fiercely loyal to their clans, defending them proudly. They express their history and devotion through the oral traditions of dance and storytelling. The Dyula have great respect for the elderly, especially if a man is an Islamic scholar. The moral principles of the Dyula are based on obedience, honesty, and dedication to their people. Such precepts are motivated by a driving sense of human dignity.
To follow Jesus is to risk losing clan support, and family support.
Pray for Jula families and communities to discover and embrace the free gift of life found by trusting Christ and his sacrificial death.
Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. Eph 6:11
Pray for the Holy Spirit to give His armor to the believers among today’s people group.
Pray for the handful of followers of Christ among the Jula people, that they will cling strongly to the truths of Scripture, resting upon the finished work of Christ. Pray they become strong enough in the faith to represent the Lord well among their own people. Proper sanitation and health care are lacking among the Dyula. Medical missionaries are needed to live and work among the Dyula, showing them the love of Jesus in practical ways.
