Hijazi Arab in Saudi Arabia


Hijazi Arab in Saudi Arabia

Arabia once had a large Christian population, but they were expelled when Islam gained control 1,300 years ago. Today, Saudi Arabs see themselves as preservers of the Islamic faith. The Hijazi Arabs speak one of the variants of the Arabic language.

Ministry Obstacles

Any overt expression of the Christian faith is likely to bring a severely negative response. The Saudi government does all it can to keep people from straying from Islam.

Outreach Ideas

It will take Christ-bearers with special skills and the willingness to go where they aren't wanted or accepted.

Scripture Focus

"Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen."  Acts 28:28

Scripture Prayer

Pray for this people group to hear and to accept the message of God’s salvation.

Prayer Focus

Pray for the protection and growth of the few believers among the Hijazi of Saudi Arabia. Pray for the Lord to give them courage, wisdom, unconditional love and the willingness to share the Savior with their Muslim family members and friends. Pray that the religious zeal of the Hijazi Arabs would soon be redirected toward serving Jesus Christ. Pray for the Lord to establish his Church among them. Pray for the Lord to send dreams and visions to Hijazi Arab elders, so they will be ready to accept Christ on his terms.
