There are several people groups in Namibia that are the focus of the "Forgotten Peoples" website. We invite you to read some general information on each of these groups below. For further information on one or all of these groups please click the indicated web address for more details. The Herero
The Herero are a pastoral cattle
breeding nation known for the women wearing
"cow horn headpieces" and long Victorian gowns.
Their tribal traditions continue to remain strong. Today they combine Christian
dogma with ancestor worship and magical ceremonies. To learn more about the Herero, please click on the following link:http://www.baptistsupport.com/tgg/tgg-13-page.php?action=view&userid=2
Adopted by the Bi-Fork Association of Texas, The Mbalantu still need your prayers!
The Nama are closely related to the Bushman, having a similar Khoisan language, light skin and small frame. They rely greatly on stock farming, crafts, tribal traditions and a multitude of superstitions. Most Nama show no understanding of a personal relationship with Jesus.

The Mbalantu, one tribe of the Ovambo nation, are a cattle breeding and farming society living mostly in isolation. Sadly, they are not isolated from extreme alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS and hopelessness. Traditional ancestor worship, divination and mystical ceremonies are still practiced. Empty Christian religion is only a sign of past missionary work. There is a lot of confusion and resistance to the Gospel. To learn more about the Mbalantu and to see updates on trips by volunteer teams, please click on the following link:

The Nama 
The Coloured of Namibia
The Namibian Coloureds are a unique culture of racially mixed origin, African, European, and Asian descent. They mostly live around the Namibian cities and towns. Many are fishermen on the coast and stock farmers in the southern interior. They have little to no evangelical contact and no Baptist missionary presence.
