The Gurage people's ancestors were military conquers from the Aksumite Empire. They originated in the Tigray region. The Gurage people have subgroups, one of which is the Muher. The Muher Gurage speak Sebat Bet Gurage.
Most Ethiopians like Muher Geto Gurage people because of their entertaining dances and delicious food. They are known for their hard work, their ability to produce wealth, their willingness to help one another and their clannishness.
Most raise cattle for their milk, which they use to produce cheese and spiced butter. They also grow coffee, chat and ensete (false bananas) as cash crops. Their diet includes wheat, cabbage, and dairy products. They eat meat on special occasions. The Muher Gurage consider it rude and vulgar to overeat.
Others are businessmen and traders. They are known for their ability to run prosperous businesses.
Most are Orthodox Christians, but they also have traditional religious practices.
Like most peoples, the Muher Gurage need to center their spiritual lives around Jesus Christ and none other.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to transform the Ethiopian Church so that it centers on Jesus Christ’s person and teachings.
Pray for Muher Gurage disciplers to make more disciples.
Pray for Muher Gurage families to be abundantly blessed by a Christ-centered spiritual transformation.
