- They are primarily traders when living in cities and towns, and subsistance farmers out in the villages.
- In some areas, they live among evangelical Christians but they have not responded to the gospel.
- Only the New Testament and Genesis have been translated into Jula.
Please pray that the handful of Jula believers would grow strong in their new faith and go spread the Gospel as their ancestors spread Islam in this part of West Africa.
