Najdi Arab in Jordan

The Najdi tribe straddles what we call Arabs and what we call Bedouins, so we call them Bedouin Arabs. They consider their traditional homeland to be the Arabian Desert; however, some Bedouin groups have migrated north into the Negev Desert region. Today many Bedouins still live in Jordan, one of the first lands their ancestors inhabited, primarily raising sheep and goats. Nadji Bedouin Arabs have a relatively harsh existence. They have no permanent homes but live in portable, black tents made from woven goat hair.

Ministry Obstacles

Little or no Christian witness exists for them, nor any example of living Christianity for the Najdi Arabs to see or experience.

Scripture Focus

"All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word."  Isaiah 66:2

Scripture Prayer

Pray for the Lord to give humility and a fear of Him to this people group that will lead to them being blessed beyond measure.

Pray for these remote Muslims to have dreams and visions of the risen Savior and be drawn to him. Pray for workers who are willing to endure hardships, learn a difficult language, and produce gospel materials for these people who need to hear good news. Pray for the rapid spread of the gospel among the Nadji Bedouin Arabs.
