Spiritual Landscape in Kenya
While more than 85 per cent of the population would identify as Christian, there is significant nominalism and a good deal of unbiblical teaching. There is a significant Muslim minority, plus adherents to Hinduism, Buddhism and some traditional religions.
Communities Where Christ is Least Known
The Digo
The Digo are an East African tribe, concentrated on the southern coastal strip of Kenya between Mombasa and the border of Tanzania. In a country that is largely Christian, the Digo are nearly all Muslim. The Digo have never been reached successfully with the gospel. The religious practices of the Digo are deeply rooted in spiritism and folk Islam.
The Orma
The Orma are semi-nomadic people who live in the south eastern parts of Kenya in Tana River and Lamu counties. The Orma are almost exclusively Muslim and have been so for three or four generations. They are devoted in their faith, observing all the rites and religious festivals. Most of the Orma have never heard the name of Jesus as the son of God, but that Jesus was simply a prophet, teacher or a good man.
