Concern, prayer, and effort are appropriate. Although there is a Surma church, there are hardly more than a couple hundred Christians in this tribe of thirty to fifty thousand people. As a tribe, they are resistant to Christianity, and effective ways to spread the Good News among them need development. Literacy work is preparing them to read Bible passages, and this often makes a improvement in receptiveness to the Good News. Gwen, as a nurse, provides medical help, as do others.
More medical help is needed, as well as help for agricultural and other improvements.
