Kabyle Berber in Belgium
kuh-BEEL BUR-bur

The Kabyle are an African Berber tribe mostly located primarily in Morocco, Tunisia, western Libya and the coastal mountain regions of northern Algeria. The Africans call this entire region of North Africa Maghrib. During the third century, the Romans named the people of the Maghrib "Berber," which means "barbarian." Some arrived in Belgium after World War II when there was a labor shortage. Others went as merchants, since Belgium was an important trading partner with North African countries.

Ministry Obstacles
The Muslim Kabyle Berbers rarely meet people in Belgium who follow Jesus Christ with all their hearts.

Outreach Ideas
Pray for Berber believers to take Christ to other Muslims in Belgium.

Scripture Focus
"Our soul waits for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. For our heart is glad in him, because we trust in his holy name."  Psalm 33:20-21

Scripture Prayer
May this people group rejoice in the Lord always.

Prayer Focus
Many Kabyle are searching for answers beyond Muslim fundamentalism. Those in North Africa do not have the freedom to follow Christianity, but those in Belgium do. Although a number of them have responded to recent Christian programs produced in France, there are still many who remain unreached. Pray for a spiritual hunger among the Kabyle Berbers in Belgium, especially among their leaders. Pray for people who love Jesus to go to them with the gospel. Pray that Belgium would be a place where Kabyle Berbers experience a movement to Christ.
