Argobba is a name used for both the ethnic group and the language. The Argobba people fled central Ethiopia to avoid forcible conversion to Christianity.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Lives Like? </h7> <p>They settled in well-watered and hilly areas which they cleared for cultivation. Once settled, they engaged in agriculture and weaving. They still engage in agriculture, weaving or commerce. Those who are merchants are noted for their shrewdness.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Beliefs? </h7> <p>Argobba people are Sunni Muslims who believe that the supreme God, Allah, spoke through his prophet, Mohammed, and taught mankind how to live a righteous life through the Koran and the Hadith. To live a righteous life, you must utter the Shahada (a statement of faith), pray five times a day facing Mecca, fast from sunup to sundown during the month of Ramadan, give alms to the poor, and make a pilgrimage to Mecca if you have the means. Muslims are prohibited from drinking alcohol, eating pork, gambling, stealing, slandering, and making idols. They gather for corporate prayer on Friday afternoons at a mosque, their place of worship. The two main holidays for Sunni Muslims are Eid al Fitr, the breaking of the monthly fast and Eid al Adha, the celebration of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son to Allah. Sunni religious practices are staid and simple. They believe that Allah has pre-determined our fates; they minimize free will. In most of the Muslim world, people depend on the spirit world for their daily needs since they regard Allah as too distant. Allah may determine their eternal salvation, but the spirits determine how well we live in our daily lives. For that reason, they must appease the spirits. They often use charms and amulets to help them with spiritual forces.</p> <br /> <h7>What Are Their Needs? </h7> <p>Charms and amulets tie them to unclean spirits. They need to become children of the Lord and depend exclusively on Jesus Christ, the one who offers life to the full.</p> <br /> <h7>Prayer Points</h7> <p>Pray for the Lord to give the Argobba people a sense of spiritual need. Pray for the Lord to thrust out workers to the Argobba people in Ethiopia. Pray for the Lord to demonstrate his love and power by providing for Arbore families. Pray for Argobba disciple to make more disciples.</p> <br /> <p><a href="/assets/media/prayer/guides/scripture-prayers-for-the-peoples-of-the-world-en.pdf">Scripture Prayers</a> for the Argobba in Ethiopia.</p> <br /> <div class=""> <table class="table table-hover"> <tbody> <tr> <td><strong>Profile Source:</strong>   Joshua Project   </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> </div> </p>  </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel"> <div class="panel-heading"> <a class="accordion-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-parent="#accordion" href="#generalinfo">General Info</a> </div> <div id="generalinfo" class="panel_collapse"> <div class="panel-body"> <div class="right update-btn"> <a class="btn btn-primary" href="https://joshuaproject.net/contact/general_submit?type=data&ctry=ET&id=10422">Submit update</a> </div> <div class="lang_columns"> <table class="table table-hover"> <tbody> <tr> <td>People Name General</td> <td><a href="/people_groups/10422">Argobba</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="no_wrap">People Name in Country</td> <td>Argobba</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alternate Names</td> <td> Ankober </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Population this Country</td> <td> 232,000 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Population all Countries</td> <td> <a href="/people_groups/10422">232,000</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Total Countries</td> <td><a href="/people_groups/10422">1</a></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#indigenous" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="Well-established, multi-generational community originating in and characteristic of a particular region or country." >Indigenous</a></td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/global/progress" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="A five level scale estimating the progress of church planting among a people group, country or language." >Progress Scale</a></td> <td>1 <span class="progress-1 progress-dots">●</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#unreached" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="A people group whose number of followers of Christ and amount of resources make outside assistance necessary to reach the rest of the group with the gospel." >Unreached</a></td> <td>Yes</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#frontier-peoples">Frontier People Group</a></td> <td> No </td> </tr>  <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#gsec" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="Global Status of Evangelical Christianity - a model describing the progress of the Gospel among people groups developed by IMB-SBC." >GSEC</a></td> <td>1  (per <a href="http://www.peoplegroups.org/explore/GroupDetails.aspx?peid=11547" target="_blank">PeopleGroups.org</a>)</td> </tr> <tr> <td><a href="/help/definitions#workers" data-toggle="tooltip" data-html="true" title="Estimated # of pioneer workers needed for initial church planting.
