Nyamwezi of Tanzania

Pray for the 1.5million Nyamwezi of Tanzania, the second largest people group in Tanzania. Pray for those who are hungry during the final weeks of dry season before the rains begin again this month. The Nyamwezi are adept at surviving through this period, harvesting honey, termites, and relying on reserves of dried mushrooms and smoked leaves they rehydrate for sauces with stiff corn porridge. But some families run out of their precious reserves. The men will leave in search of day labour so they can purchase what is needed. Church attendance wanes as physical needs rise. Pray for God to bring abundant harvests and protection from pests as they turn their hearts to God, placing their faith in Him alone to provide. May churches, even at this time of scarcity, be filled with those who worship the One who will provide and carry them through.
