The people group

The Yao people are a minority group spread through Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania. Traditional African beliefs and practices are influential alongside the adherence to Islam. Devastating poverty, hunger, prevalence of malaria, HIV/AIDS and many preventable diseases mean frequent deaths among communities.
Primary language: Chiyao
Primary religion: Islam mixed with traditional African beliefs and practices

The cross-cultural team

The teams in Malawi and Mozambique are involved in developing and nurturing faith groups which are at home within their culture. These faith groups are now led by local leaders and are involved in helping the community identify and address issues relating to health, education and poverty. Team members are involved in Gospel sharing, leadership development, translation projects, agricultural projects, and community health work.
