Mwanga People of Zambia
The Mwanga people live in northern Zambia along the borders with Tanzania. Their language is Nyamwanga. The Mwanga have a population of more than 200,000, and over 160,000 live in Zambia. They are agriculturalists who grow millet, peanuts, beans and maize. They also have cattle, sheep and goats. Most Mwanga belong to churches such as the United Church of Zambia, the Catholic Church, Jehovah’s Witnesses or Seventh-day Adventists. They have been exposed to Christianity for many years, but they continue to live in their traditional ways, practicing ancestor worship and ceremonies. The Mwanga are very religious but without Christ in their lives.
Pray:
-that believers living among the Mwanga will share the gospel boldly and in a culturally sensitive way.
-that people of influence will be open to the gospel and to the Lord’s servants.
-that Mwanga believers will cut all ties with occult and animistic beliefs.
“But
from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if
you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul”
(Deuteronomy 4:29, ESV)
