Northern Yemeni Arab


Northern Yemeni Arab

The Northern Yemeni Arabs reside in the northern mountains and northeastern deserts. In rural areas, growing khat, a plant chewed for its stimulant effects, has become a mainstay in rural areas.

Ministry Obstacles

The Northern Yemenis have put their identity in the Islamic religious system. It will take the work of the Holy Spirit to get them to question what they have believed for many centuries.

Scripture Focus

"There is none holy like the LORD: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God."  1 Samuel 2:2

Scripture Prayer

Pray for influential members of this people group to understand that there is no solid rock like our God!

Prayer Focus

Pray for the few believers among the Northern Yemeni Arabs to fruitfully sow God's word among their families and communities and fuel a movement of the gospel message from household to household. Pray for Arab families to increasingly experience the righteousness and forgiveness found only in Jesus Christ. Pray for Northern Yemeni Arabs to receive biblical resources in their heart language.
