In the mountains of Ethiopia, there lived a group of about 6,000 people unreached by the story of Jesus. They practice a local animist religion, believing that all beings have a life force and that spirits can possess people.
In a 2010 poll, 11 percent of Ethiopians said sacrifices to spirits or ancestors could protect them from harm.
