Reaching the Fulanis

In February 2009, Wilfried Dengler, a National Ministry Partner from Germany, began a three-year term in the Central African Republic working with the Fulanis.  “I am a gardener and work the soil alongside the Fulanis, not only planting seeds for their livelihood, but also planting seeds of faith,” says Wilfried. The Fulanis were always nomadic or semi-nomadic cattle herders. They were wealthy because most of the Central Africans, the Bantu, do not raise cattle and always relied on the Fulanis to provide them. But the 2002-2003 civil war changed all that when many Fulanis lost their cattle and way of living.
