Pray for the Kutu people of Tanzania

“Enter through the narrow gate.  For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” Matthew 7:13-14.



Located in the vast country of Tanzania, the Kutu, historically, have largely been overlooked by religious groups.  Living along the eastern side of central Tanzania, the Kutu live by subsistent farming; planting rice and maize and raising goats, sheep, and chickens.



Following the Islamic religion, mostly through dress and the observance of Ramadan, the Kutu are not particularly devout,   however; Kutu children attend Islamic school where they are taught the Koran.

While a smattering of Christians and churches can be found among the Kutu; many find it difficult to leave behind their worship of ancestors and try to add a belief in Christ along with their prayers to the ancestors.

Pray for the Kutu to have ears to hear and hearts open to understand that Jesus is the only way to God and to the hope of eternal life.

Pray that God would impress upon the hearts of His people an urgency to share His truth with the Kutu people.
