Introduction

The name Nubian was given to the original inhabitants of Nubia, a thin settlement along the Nile River in southern Egypt. The Arabs, who invaded much of North Africa in the seventh and eleventh centuries, displaced some Nubian groups and absorbed others. As a result, thousands of Nubians are now “Arabized,” that is, influenced by the Arab culture, language and religion. Most live in villages in rural areas. Their houses are simple, round dwellings with grass-thatched roofs.


Ministry Obstacles

Some Arabized Nubians migrate seasonally with their herds, living in temporary camps. They are especially hard to reach with the gospel.


Prayer Focus

Ask the Lord to raise up a strong movement to Christ that will saturate the hearts and minds of the Nubians.
Pray the Lord's Spirit would increasingly draw the Nubians to Jesus (whom Muslims call Isa al-Masih).
Ask God to give them a growing desire to learn about Jesus through dreams and visions.
The Nubians have held to their current worldview and religion for centuries. While we know change can be very difficult, ask God to send Egyptian Christians to take the gospel to the Nubians.
