INTRODUCTION
Before reaching out to a group of people one should know who they are and
why evangelize to that group of people. That is why this paper will begin with a
brief history of Guinea and the specific group of people to be evangelized to within
the Fouta Djallon region (the Fulani speaking people of Guinea). The people of
Guinea has gone through many transitions.
Before Africa’s colonization by European Imperialists the people of Guinea
were once a part of the medieval Ghana, Mali and Songhai empires of West Africa.
Portuguese traders first came in the mid 14 hundreds; then there came the English,
French, and Dutch later to trade for gold, ivory, and slaves. France established a protectorate in
the mid-19th century. Fierce resistance to French occupation was crushed in 1898, and there was
little opposition to French rule until a nationalist movement developed after World War II.
