Sometimes there are difficulties between believers who are trying to reach the unreached with the gospel. We know these are typical schemes of the enemy to prevent the Lord’s work from going forward. Through prayer we can stand with these brothers and sisters, asking for help to walk in victory over Satan’s troublemaking. “Lord, please fill the Sandawe churches with your Spirit. Let humility richly abound. Let sin be confessed, cleansed and stripped of its power to bind. Instead, let the Holy Spirit flow freely in and through Your people with supernatural power, grace and love. Heal any divisions by deepening each person’s relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, that as Your people abide in Him, there will be rich unity. May compassion for the lost, the priority of the gospel, and the honour of the Lord Jesus Christ be the compelling motives in each person’s heart. Please send more workers into that harvest. For Jesus’ sake, Amen.”

Pray that more Sandawe people will learn to read their own language so that they can read the Scriptures that have already been translated.

The Sandawe are traditionally hunter/gatherers but are now farmers and much of Usandawe (the area in which they live) is not fertile. Last year, the rains were not good. We just finished up some food relief for this year. It’s looking like the harvest this year will be better but we are having a dry spell so please ask for prayer for rain and a good harvest so that the basic needs of these precious people will be met. Also, please pray that their eyes will be open to their need for a Savior. They seem a content enough people, but they have so many traditions that are steeped in fear. Witchcraft is still prevalent.
