We will be sending a small team on a vision trip to Somaliland this August. The team will be assessing future partnership opportunities for Grace with a local refugee community, exploring bible translation opportunities, building gospel relationships in the community, and prayer walking.

Somaliland is an independent sovereign state in Northern Somalia with a population of about 5.7 million people. With little to no exceptions, the Somali people are Sunni Muslims. While 40.5% of households in Somaliland have access to improved water sources, almost a third of households lie at least an hour away from their primary source of drinking water. 1 in 11 children die before their first birthday, and 1 in 9 die before their fifth birthday. Many of the minority languages in Somaliland are still needing access to bible translation.

Please be praying for this team leading up to their trip in August.
