Tsamai in Ethiopia

Tsamai in Ethiopia The Tsamai are a people group that live in the plain of the Weyt'o River. They may have been part of the Konso people and because of raids from the Borana, had crossed the Sagan River to settle and intermingle with the Banna and Dime. They are neighbors of the Hamar and Banna, with whom they have built a strong alliance. They are farmers as well as livestock producers. They grow sorghum and maize, and use the hoe to cultivate the land. Their administrative and trade center is Weyto town. The Tsamako are predominantly followers of their ethnic religion which believes that the male and female star created the world. Ministry Obstacles No scripture is reported as available in the Tsamai language. Outreach Ideas There are many evangelical Christians in Ethiopia. Please pray that some of these people will be given an interest in taking the Gospel to the Tsamai tribe. Pray they will follow through and spend the necessary time among the Tsamai to help develop disciples. Pray for the followers of Christ There are a few Christians among the Tsamai tribe today, and they need prayer support. Pray that workers will be sent to them to help them become firmly established in the faith. Pray for the entire people group Pray the Tsamai tribe will soon be set free from belief in what is not true, and will come to know and worship the creator God.
