Djimini OT
Even in good years the Djimini are poorly paid for their cash crops of peanuts, cassava and yams, but recent periods of drought have made life especially difficult. Most parents can no longer afford to pay for their children’s school fees, books, and uniforms. The Djimini have a high regard for their language and speak it at home, in the marketplace, and in the churches. The Djimini language is not in danger of disappearing or of being absorbed. Most Djimini practice animism or adhere to African traditional religions; about 2 to 4 percent are Christians. The New Testament (dedicated 1995) is already used extensively, but the Old Testament stories of Abraham and the prophets are needed to show the truth of the Gospel and to counteract other stories.
