Least-reached but Not Forgotten
In northern Tanzania’s remote bush, the Hadzabi people, hold to their traditional ways as hunters and gatherers.
In fact, they live in movable camps, seeking water and food from game or other natural sources. The Hadzabi consider the food of the land as God’s gift to them. They are one of Tanzania’s least-reached people groups. And their traditional beliefs include a Creator God, one they know by name. However, they also know he has a son.
Now, for the first time, the Hadzabi are hearing that Jesus is the name of the Son.
Pastor Leo, a local church planter, is reaching out to the Hadzabi in the name of Jesus. He’s introducing them to the Son of the Creator God and sharing the Good News.
Leo was trained through a Global Disciples partner program. And, his goal is to reach several least-reached people groups in their region. He is among the first to complete the training and Leo’s already deep into the ministry he prepared for.
However, in just a few months, his small church has added two Hadzabi believers.
The Hadzabi People Are Not Forgotten
These Hadzabi believers are introducing him to the rest of their small community, building relationships, and sharing the Gospel.
Further west, another training program affiliated with Global Disciples also completed its first training. The program director, Pastor Umbu, believes that to reach the least- reached, he needs to be where they are! So, he strategically set up the training close to a people group considered least-reached.
Pastor Umbu trains people to focus on sharing the Gospel with these mountain people. Up until now, they have had a minimal Christian presence.
Global Disciples Share In The Joy Of The Hadzabi
When one of our Global staff visited these leaders in their training and met the new Hadzabi believers in their camp, she said, “It was so meaningful because I saw our mission to the least- reached is being fulfilled!”
And it is. People like Pastor Leo and Pastor Umbu have embraced the vision to see every person have an opportunity to choose and follow Jesus. They know that includes the Hadzabi and other groups in their region, and they’re doing all they can to equip believers and fulfill the assignment to reach the least-reached.
As Global Disciples, we share their joy to see the Hadzabi and other unreached people groups in northern Tanzania come to know God’s Son Jesus as their Savior.
What Is Global Disciples?
Global Disciples Canada is a Christian mission organization that trains local leaders living near least-reached communities to multiply disciples for Christ. One-third of our world hasn’t heard the Good News of Jesus. Yet. Global Disciples refers to these as “least-reached” people, and fewer than 10% of all missionaries work among these groups. We live in a time where many of these people are within reach of a local church. Through our simple and effective strategy of training and coaching, believers share the Gospel in their own nations and cultures. Jesus said, “Go and make disciples of all nations,” and we’re committed to doing just that. If you are looking for a Christian mission organization to partner with to become a better disciple and help make disciples, connect with us today!
