In a remote corner of Northeast Africa live the Zaila people. They are living versions of the desert land where they reside\u2014hard, austere, and seemingly impenetrable. For generations, these staunch Muslims have had no one reaching them with the Good News of Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n
John and Rachel Miller had never heard of the Zaila when they first responded to God\u2019s call to reach the nations for his glory.<\/p>\n
But the Millers had heard of unengaged people groups\u2014those who have no churches, no believers, and no messengers of the Kingdom trying to share the Gospel with them. They were convinced that even the most remote communities need a chance to hear about Jesus. John and Rachel decided they could be part of the solution and go to the Muslim world where the need for the Gospel is greatest.<\/p>\n
As John and Rachel worked to recruit their team, they moved to a capital city in the region. They began looking for open doors to serve further afield where they could live among an unengaged people. At that time, the Zaila were one of Northeast Africa\u2019s largest unengaged Muslim people groups. As they started meeting Zailas living in the capital, God stirred their hearts for this lost people.<\/p>\n
Then they met a chief from Adaye, a remote Zaila village.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur people are hungry,\u201d the chief told John, an agriculturalist, \u201cand we don\u2019t have a produce market in our town. Would you help us start a garden for the village?\u201d<\/p>\n
