Drawa Berber in Morocco


Drawa Berber in Morocco

Berber languages are not officially recognized in Morocco, though French, the old colonial language, is recognized. There are a few Berber programs on television, mainly as a token gesture. Berber is basically a spoken language, though there have been (and still are) attempts to gain acceptance for a written form. A Berber alphabet, probably derived from the ancient Punic script, has existed for around 2,500 years. Berbers used to be Christians and St. Augustine was half Berber.

Ministry Obstacles

Morocco is not a hospitable country in which Christians and Jews can live and work. Most Christians are not indigenous in this officially Sunni Muslim monarchy. They are tolerated.

Scripture Focus

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden."  Matthew 5:14

Scripture Prayer

Pray for this people group to become a light to the world reflecting the goodness and grace of Jesus Christ.

Prayer Focus

Pray for the Drawa Berbers to learn that a way of forgiveness for their sins has been provided. Pray that God will overthrow spiritual forces of darkness opposing the spread of his gospel. There may be no followers of Christ among the Drawa Berbers, but we expect many to soon be born into the faith. Pray they will be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Pray Berbers become aware of their ancient Christian heritage and long to return to it. Pray for visions and dreams of Jesus. Pray any Drawa Berber expatriates in Europe come to faith in Jesus and win family members to Christ.
