The Kokolas live in Mozambique and Malawi.
What Are Their Lives Like?
They are mainly an agricultural people.
What Are Their Beliefs?
Many of the Kokola in Mozambique heard the gospel when they were refugees in Malawi during the war in Mozambique (1980s). There are churches in the area. Most churches are served by itinerating pastors who may visit the church once every few months.

Kokola pastors need to be trained. The churches use either the Malawian Chichewa Bible or the Portuguese Bible.
Prayer Points
Pray for revival in Kokola churches that will draw them into love and good works.
Pray for biblical training for their pastors and for discipleship training.
Pray for some to create biblical music that the Kokolas will sing as they go about their daily chores.
