Introduction / History

The Awngi language is spoken by the Awi people, who live mainly in the Awi Zone in the Amhara Region but also in the Dangur District of Metekel Zone of Benishangul Gumuz Region and in the Q'uara and Alefa Districts of the North Gonder Zone of Amhara Region in Northern Ethiopia. The North Gonder Zone Awis are also called Kunfal.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Kunfals are predominantly farmers (using a plow) and very similar in culture to Amharas. The North Gonder Zone Awis (A.K.A. Kunfal), however, are very different in culture to the rest of the group. There are three subgroups: the Awigna, the Himtigna and the Kimantigna.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Though traditional religion is still a reality for the Konsos, over half are Christians, most of whom are Evangelicals. They have a complete Bible and many oral gospel tools.

What Are Their Needs?

The Konsos need to be God's chosen people to take Christ to under-reached peoples in Ethiopia.

Prayer Items

Pray for a powerful work of the Holy Spirit to shake up Kunfal spirituality, driving them to love Jesus Christ with all their hearts, souls and spirits.
Pray for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to focus on putting Jesus Christ high above all.
Pray that soon Kunfal disciples will make more disciples.
