I ni ce! Meaning "hello" and "thank you", this is a phrase you will hear constantly if you spend any time with the Bambara. There are three million Bambara people living in the West African country of Mali. They make up thirty-five percent of the population of Mali. The name Bambara means "those who refuse to be ruled". The Bambara people rank high in regard to the ethnic groups in Mali. This is mainly because their language is spoken as a trade or common language by the people of Mali.

Pray the Bambara will allow Christ to be their ruler.
