Tawara is the name of a tribe and their language. They live in Mozambique and Malawi.
They are primarily fishermen and subsistence farmers who cultivate the region's staple crops, including maize, millet, sorghum, and cassava. From these, they have their food supply, though they also find wild fruits and greens. Some raise chickens and goats for their meat and poultry. Their cooking styles are simple; they boil food in clay pots and use open fire cooking.
Tawara households often include multiple generations. Elders are given much respect. Child raising is done by all generations.
When they come together for community activities, they will have storytelling, songs, and dance.
They are roughly half Christian and half ethnic religionists. Their churches are strong enough that they can take the gospel to others.
The Tawaras face infrastructure problems. They lack adequate schools, hospitals, and access to clean running water.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to move powerfully in Tawara families and churches, drawing them closer to the King of kings.
Pray for many to be thrust out as workers to those who lack a gospel witness.
Pray for God’s people to work with them to develop new trade partners.
