Not a beautifully woven basket or colourful kitenge fabric, but an Indian purse sold in East Africa! People assume that missionaries to Africa focus on being our Father's Heart, Hands and Voice with ‘Africans’ – but "Jesus loves… all the children of the world, red and yellow, black and white" covers the rainbow of skin tones found in East Africa. Did you know thousands of Indians live in East Africa? Some are descendants of builders of the the East African railway (19th century), while others came as traders from all over the world. Many descendants of former faraway colonial masters still call East Africa home. This means that many missionaries to East Africa learn languages such as Hindi, Gujarati, or Portuguese. Pray today for Believers in East Africa who must learn multiple languages and about many varied faiths to share our Father’s love and salvation with their friends, neighbors and shopkeepers!
