Zimbabwe: All we hear is death and doom. Yes, please pray for this land. Recently we started a work among an unreached people group in Zimbabwe. Many people were reached and came to faith in Jesus. They wanted to Chad to another unreached people group which was about 4600km (2800 miles) away. They desired to go BECAUSE no one else wanted to go. They could not imagine someone not going to tell this Muslim people group about Jesus. The people did not have money and were willing to walk this distance to tell people how God changed their life when they met Jesus. Within two weeks some money came in for plane tickets for this long journey.
A least-reached people group reaching another least-reached group in Africa.
The least reached group in Southern Africa is the Biaya (sp?) people group (bushman). There was no church and no known believers. After 2 years of a missionary couple being there among these people about 80 people came to know Jesus. We went in to meet many and found them between 5-7AM some men were praying with tears for the nations around a World map. (imagine--after just 2 years from coming to faith).
Now, these are very poor people (bushmen). They saved money to participate in what God is doing around the World saying, “We don’t know how to get this money to Tanzania, but God has put this country on our hearts. Can you help us give this money to missionaries there?” This happened again and they sent money to India. This happened again as they gave money to workers in Zimbabwe upon hearing of the lack of food. Then they sent someone to be a missionary because they wanted to be part of what God is doing. What is happening in Southern Africa is like that of the book of Acts!
