Moor in Mauritania
moorh

The term "Moor" is generally applied to any person, regardless of skin color, who speaks one of the Hassaniyya dialects. The Moors are very proud people, conveying a sense of superiority to others in Mauritania. They faithfully follow the teachings of the Koran, and they believe these teachings come directly from above.

Ministry Obstacles
The Hassaniyya language only has limited biblical materials. It is hard for Muslims to accept the idea that they need a Savior who is free from sin.

Outreach Ideas
Pray for Moorish believers to become effective and fruitful in sowing God's word among their own families and communities to fuel a movement of God's blessings, spreading from household to household.

Scripture Focus
"Yet I will rejoice in the LORD; I will take joy in the God of my salvation."  Habakkuk 3:18

Scripture Prayer
Pray this people group would learn to rejoice in the Lord and His salvation.

Prayer Focus
Pray that the few believers among the Moors may be of the same mind, being one in spirit and purpose, looking not only to their own interests but also to the interests of others. Pray for individuals within the Moorish community to be spiritually prepared for the gospel when it comes to them. Pray for a rapid expansion of Christ's Kingdom among the Moors in Mauritania in this decade.
