This research adds to scholarly literature that discusses Christian belief and ensuing Christian spiritual growth among FulBe living in contexts dominated by Islamic and indigenous religion in Benin, Burkina Faso, and Niger. Data was procured by the author and a team of FulBe assistants doing interviews of FulBe Christians while following a qualitative research methodology. Subsequent data analysis was done by the author on digital recordings of one hundred and ten interviews that had been acquired. The research results demonstrate that factors related to Adini (religion) played the major role in both facilitating and hindering Christian belief as well as ensuing spiritual growth among FulBe. Two other categories of factors, Fina-tawa (culture) and Joonde Duniyaaru (realities of the physical world) played secondary and tertiary roles in the spiritual journeys of FulBe. This dissertation then employs the research finding while interacting with scholarly discussions related to Islam, nomadic lifestyle, and contextualization to attempt to answer the questions of what facilitates or hinders Christian belief and/or spiritual growth among West African FulBe.
