Druze in Lebanon
drooz

Have you ever heard of the Druze people? Their homeland is Lebanon, Israel and Syria. The Druze religion is an offshoot of Islam and appeared in the ninth century. They are firmly monotheistic. Druze hold the Koran as sacred. They also have their own inspired scripture called the Book of Wisdom. Druze believe in the transmigration of the soul. That is, at death, one's soul is instantaneously reincarnated, and it is reborn into another life. Druze do not evangelize or accept converts into their religion. They are loyal to the country where they live. They are known as fierce soldiers who have no fear of death. Druze in Lebanon speak Northern Levantine Arabic as their first language.

Ministry Obstacles
If a Druze man or woman becomes a follower of Jesus Christ, he or she will be excluded from the Druze community. The nation of Lebanon is currently experiencing chaos, violence and insecurity. This makes it difficult for ideas to spread.

Outreach Ideas
There are no believers among the Druze in Lebanon as far as we know, so pray for this to change soon.

Scripture Focus
"Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession."  Psalm 2:8

Scripture Prayer
Ask now! Ask Him for this people group to become part of His family.

Prayer Focus
Radio and TV programs in Levantine Arabic can deliver the good news with the Druze. Pray the Lord would lead Druze to listen to Christian radio programs. Pray that many Druze living outside of their homeland would become followers of Jesus Christ. Pray that believing Druze would go to Lebanon and tell their family and friends about the Savior.
