The Kubi are found in one town and several villages in Bauchi State.  They are losing both their language and culture to Hausa, a dominant people group in the area.  There are Gospel recordings in both Kubi and Hausa which could be used as evangelistic tools to reach the Kubi.  These would be useful as many of the Kubi are oral learners and would not be able to read written Scriptures.  An Engaging Church could take the challenge of reaching the Kubi and perhaps other small people groups in the same area.
