Warain Berber in Morocco
wah-RANE BUR-bur

The name Berber comes from an Arabic name for the aboriginal people west and south of Egypt. Contrary to the romantic, popular image that portrays Berbers as nomadic people who cross the desert on camels, their main activity is sedentary agriculture. Nowadays, besides the traditional means of living, there is a new element which is part of the economy of Berber families, namely income from the large number of immigrants in Europe, especially in France. Gospel radio and recordings, and the JESUS Film are available in the language of the Berbers. Literature and Scripture are often made available on the docks of southern Europe as these people who work in Europe go home for holidays.

Ministry Obstacles
Morocco is closed to gospel workers. Someone will need to use creative approaches to ministering to the Berbers.

Scripture Focus
"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?"  Matthew 7:15-16

Scripture Prayer
Pray that the Lord gives this people group the discernment to recognize false prophets and the grace to know the true Prophet, Priest and King, Jesus Christ.

Prayer Focus
Ask the Lord to multiply the reception and influence of his word among the Warain Berbers, to lead them to love him with their whole being. Pray that the Berbers, mainly Christian before the 7th century, will once again know and follow Christ as savior. Since there are few, if any, believers among the Warain Berbers at present, ask God for miraculous aid to help them become believers. Ask God to give them a hunger for Christ to dwell in their hearts through faith.
