The birth of children brings joy to the Kolsi and ensures the continuity of the extended family. When a girl gives birth to her first child, she is then considered a woman. Additional children further cement the bond between husband and wife and increase the woman's status. An infant is always near its mother and is coddled and shown affection by other family members, including the father. Since a baby can do no evil, it is very much loved and indulged.
Girls remain with their mothers until they are married.
Boys, on the other hand, live with a senior male member of the janwuo from the age of six. They believe that their own moral behavior and rituals are necessary to maintain the order of the universe. Therefore, they believe that the universe cannot exist without humans. Further evangelism and discipleship of the believers are still needed to see the Church firmly established among the Kolsi. Prayer Points Ask the Lord of the harvest to send additional workers to join the few who are already working among the Kolsi.
