The Wu Chinese language is more commonly referred to as the Shanghai dialect, but in fact, Wu is spoken in a far greater area than just Shanghai. The Wu are counted as part of the Han nationality.
There are Han Chinese communities in many countries, including Nigeria.
Wu Chinese individuals in Nigeria often run small businesses, supported by strong community ties. Some are involved in the informal economy. Others have come in the last 10 years to help Chinese companies extract minerals and oil. The local Nigerians often resent them. Other Chinese come to work in semi-slave-like conditions. They are not resented by the local population, who consider them to be victims of corrupt companies that force them to take low-paying jobs far from home.
Though there is a Christian presence among the Wus in Nigeria, most are involved with Chinese religion or secular humanism. Some have embraced the magical practice of Qi Gong, which is popular in China. They don’t understand their need to be forgiven by a holy God.
Wu Chinese in Nigeria need the spiritual hunger it takes to seek and find Christ.
Pray for a spiritual hunger that would lead the Wu people in Nigeria to the only Savior.
Pray for many Wu speakers to disciple those without a gospel witness.
Pray for the authority of Christ to bind hindering spiritual forces to lead them from darkness to light.
Pray for signs and wonders to happen among them and for significant breakthroughs with a rapid multiplication of disciples and house churches.
