Featured People Group:

Bura

Although my family is Bura, our people were attacked a long time ago (16th century) by others. The Pabir people became the ruling class, which we Bura resent. Two missionaries came and began to teach the Bura about faith in Jesus Christ. Though some of my family decided to become Christians, many of us remain faithful to Islam. Most of the Pabir are also faithful to Islam.
