The Kutu People of Tanzania

 The Kutu People of Tanzania
 
The Kutu people live on the foothills of the Uluguru mountains in the Morogoro region. They are subsistence farmers growing mainly rice and maize. They are difficult to reach due to poor road conditions, especially during the rainy season. It is a common practice to give their girls in marriage at the age of 15. The Kutu follow Islam as well as various forms of pagan worship. There are a few Lutheran churches in the area, but only 2 to 3 percent of Kutu are known to be evangelical. In recent years, the JESUS Film was completed in the Kutu language.

Prayer Requests
-Pray for God to bless those who are actively recording Scripture portions in the Kutu language. 
-Ask Him to help Kutu believers to tell His story well, so that His truths will be made known.
-Pray for God’s Word to fall on listening ears so that the Kutu will be drawn to the one who gives life.


 My people, hear my teaching; listen to the words of my mouth. (Psalm 78:1)
