(swah-HEE-lee) – East Africa has fertile soil, and many plants thrive in its warm, tropical climate. For many years, thousands of seeds of truth have been planted among the Swahili-speaking Arabs of East Africa, yet the spiritual soil of their hearts has not been as fertile. Moments of sharing deep spiritual truth are often met with blank stares and no follow-up questions or even challenges. Isaiah 61:11 (ESV) promises that “the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to sprout up before all the nations.” The Great Gardener can be trusted with this task. Ask Him to bring forth the harvest among this people group.
