The name Swahili literally means "coast," and is the name traditionally given to several people groups that share a common culture, language (Swahili), and religion (Islam) living along the eastern coast of Africa. Though they are called "Swahili" by others, they prefer to be named according to their local settlements.

Today, the Swahili are scattered along eastern Africa and the Persian Gulf, from Saudi Arabia to Zambia. For about 2,000 years, the backbone of the Swahili economy has been commerce. They worked as cross-national merchants trading spices, slaves, ivory, gold, and grain. Today, international commerce is still important to the Swahili but to a lesser degree. Many upper class Swahili now manage small businesses, do clerical work, and teach school.

Most likely, the Swahili in Saudi Arabia conduct business deals with Saudi corporations. There might be some Swahili people who work as oil workers or other less-prestigious jobs.

Since the Swahili are predominantly Muslim, Islamic practices play a large role in their daily activities.

Perhaps the Swahili will learn of the possibility of scripture downloads from the web and will be spiritually hungry enough to read these downloads on their computers or phones.

There are likely no followers of Jesus today among the Swahili of Saudi Arabia. Please pray the Lord will soon stir the hearts of many in this tribe to find out more about Jesus Christ.

Pray Jesus will appear to some in dreams or visions, leading them to seek and find the Savior.

Pray the Swahili in all countries of residence will turn their hearts and communities to Jesus Christ.
