Arab in Burundi
AE-rub
What is a "stateless" person? The Arabs in Burundi are considered stateless, as they are not given Burundi citizenship and their original homeland of Oman does not claim responsibility for them either. The Arab population in Burundi speaks Arabic as their primary language and those who received education may speak French or English. Burundi is a country with low resources. Coffee and tea are the main cash crops.
Ministry Obstacles
The Arabs in Burundi are majority Muslim and there are no known believers among them. This can make it difficult to share the gospel as it means believers from outside have to reach them.
Outreach Ideas
The Bible is available in Arabic. This is a blessing because it means that they can read the Bible for themselves, as long as they have access to one.
Scripture Focus
"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise." Psalm 51:17
Scripture Prayer
Pray for the Lord to break the spirits of members of this people group and bless them with joy of salvation and mercy.
Prayer Focus
Pray for Christian Arabs from outside Burundi to have the love and courage to share the gospel with them. Pray that the Burundi government would give them citizenship so that they are no longer stateless and can truly build better lives for themselves. Pray for blessings over the tea and coffee crops so that they can improve their livelihood. Pray that a movement to Christ among the Arabs living in Burundi.
