Najdi Arab in Kuwait
nahj-DEE AE-rub

Najdi is one of the varieties of the Arabic language spoken by Saudi Arabs. Saudi Arabia is sometimes called, "The Land of The Two Holy Mosques," in reference to Mecca and Medina, the two holiest places in Islam. The public practice of any religion other than Islam (including Christianity and Judaism), the presence of churches, and possession of non-Islamic religious materials is not allowed. Saudi Arabian dress follows strictly the principles of hijab, the Islamic principle of modesty.

Ministry Obstacles
Saudi Arabia is completely off limits to any kind of indigenous Christian presence.

Outreach Ideas
Pray the few believers among the Najdi Arabs will grow in sharing and discussing God's Word with their families and communities.

Scripture Focus
"Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.""  1 Samuel 17:45

Scripture Prayer
Pray that the nations will know that they cannot defy the Lord.

Prayer Focus
There are not many followers of Jesus among the Najdi Arabs. There are a few and they need outside prayer support. Pray for their protection. Pray they would learn to live in the power of Christ's Spirit, demonstrating the fruit of his Spirit. This fruit will be a strong testimony to the reality and goodness of Christ. Pray the Najdi Arabs would hunger to know forgiveness of sin, found only through faith in the work of Christ on the cross. Pray they would hunger to know God's love, found through faith in Christ's work and life.
