Mahra in Kuwait

The Al-Mahrah tribe or Mahra make up the largest tribe dwelling in their original homeland, Yemen's Socotra Island. Many live elsewhere, including mainland Yemen, Oman, Somalia or Kuwait.

Ministry Obstacles

Kuwait centers its religious focus solidly on the Muslim faith, and the gospel is not welcome. For someone to reach the Mahra people, they would need to be very discreet.

Outreach Ideas

People who live on small islands experience difficulty earning a good living, and that includes the Mahras. Believers can help them develop the right skills so they can rise above their current circumstances.

Scripture Focus

"For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people."  Jeremiah 31:33

Scripture Prayer

Pray for today’s people group to become the Lord’s people!

Prayer Focus

Very few believers exist among the Mahra people in Kuwait, so pray for the Holy Spirit to move in their communities. Pray for spiritual openness among this solidly Muslim people. Pray for opportunities for Mahra people in Kuwait to hear of the love, grace, mercy and power of the Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for a movement to Christ to spread through Mahra communities, not only in Kuwait but also in Oman, Yemen, and Somalia.
