We were so encouraged a few weeks ago when we visited one of the smaller congregations in our area but one that is made up of entirely Sandawe people. Of the four adults that were in attendance, two were old people and a third is severely physically challenged, yet they were there with full hearts. The singing was enthusiastic if somewhat off key. The small group of children sang together as a choir. After the service, we shared a meal and visited with one of the families, the head of the home is one of the main Bible translators and one of the only Sandawe church leaders in the area. While small in terms of numbers of people who attend, this body is thriving and is strong. We pray for more of this kind of faith and commitment among the Sandawe people.
