There are some Christians among the Yungur and some churches in the area, but no one is focusing their attention on church planting among the Yungur.  An Engaging Church could partner with the churches in the area, providing discipleship and leadership training, casting vision for reaching out to those still without a witness. There are many resources in Fulfulde in Hausa which many of the Yungur speak.
