Communities where Christ is least known
Immigrants from India
Indians arrived in Zimbabwe as traders as far back as 1890. Their population has steadily increased, and by 2016, they numbered slightly over a hundred thousand. Most are business people of the Gujarati ethnic group, living in urban areas. Most speak English, and a few speak indigenous languages.
They are a closed community, having contact and interaction with other ethnicities only in their shops. The majority are Muslims and Hindus, and a very small number are Christians. Pray that God sends to Zimbabwe a missionary of Indian or Asian background, who may be able to engage the Indian communities and present the gospel of Christ.
Prayers
