The Sankaran live in a remote area of Guinea. Many are bilingual in Maninka, which has resources available. An Engaging Church could partner with a Yalunka church which is about 25 miles away or with a Maninka church in Faranah. Some of the elders in the village remember when a missionary was in the area and the Bible stories he told. They commented that they would like to have someone come and share the stories again.
