Connect October – December 2020

Variant spellings of this people group include Azande, Zandeh, A-Zandeh and Sandeh. The Zande live in an area approximately 800 kilometers long by 400 kilometers wide spread over three countries, namely South Sudan, theย Democratic Republic of Congo and Central African Republic. Their territory extends from the fringes of the Upper Nile basin in South Sudan to the semitropical rain forests in Congo and into the Central African Republic. The word โZandeโ means the people who possess much land, and refers to their history as conquering warriors. Now, the Zande are mainly small-scale farmers.ย

Give thanks that AIM missionaries were able to show the Jesus Film in the Sango

Why go to the Central African Republic? Because the Zande church has asked for our help. And their Mbororo neighbours still have no knowledge of the God who created them.
