Bedouin Arab in Saudi Arabia
BEH-doo-in AE-rub
Bedouins typically follow a hierarchy of loyalties based on the closeness of kinship that runs from the nuclear family through the lineage, the tribe, and even to an entire ethnic or linguistic group. Disputes are settled, interests are pursued, and justice and order are maintained by means of this organizational framework. The individual family unit typically consists of three or four adults (a married couple plus siblings or parents) and any number of children. Life is semi-nomadic and pastoral.
Ministry Obstacles
Saudi Arabia is very hostile to any kind of Christian witness.
Scripture Focus
"But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:24
Scripture Prayer
Pray that today’s people group would experience God’s wonderful grace and begin to tell others about Him.
Prayer Focus
Pray for workers needed to sow God's word into Bedouin families and to bring God’s healing and strengthening to households.
Pray for the handful of followers of Jesus among the Bedouins, that the Lord will protect their faith and nurture it.
Pray they will find each other and fellowship together. Pray for their encouragement.
Pray that the Lord's Spirit will open Bedouin eyes to see that Jesus is more than a prophet.
Pray for the women to hear how much Jesus values them.
