Among the Tanala, mothers do not breastfeed orphaned children because it is not allowed by the ancestors, even if that child would die otherwise. Jurgen and Katja Hofmann have seen how the gospel has freed people from fear and saved lives in how believers have breastfed orphaned babies because they are not afraid of the ancestors. Praise God for his visible change in believers’ lives, and please pray that he will use acts of kindness like this to show his compassion and draw more Tanala to himself.
