Summary

The Kabyle Berbers are a large people group living in the Kabyle region of northern Algeria. Kabylia is one of the more industrialized parts of Algeria, and farming is gradually giving way to local industry. The Kabyle are described as largely nominal Sunni Muslims, with many marabouts who are Muslim teachers and leaders. Christian groups include both Catholics and Protestants. The people speak their own language, and many people speak Algerian Arabic, French, and English. Many Kabyle have immigrated to France, for both economic reasons and to escape political persecution. The Kabyle have been strong promoters of Berber ethnicity and traditions.

Obstacles

The lure of materialism and a lack of unity and purpose will surely dilute any attempts to reach all of the Kabyle with the gospel message.

How reach

Evangelical Christians among the Kabyle are becoming numerous enough, and spiritually mature enough, to reach all of their own people for Christ.

Pray for church

The Lord is presently calling many Kabyle to a personal relationship with Jesus, and rejoicing in this is appropriate. Pray these believers will grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, firmly established in the faith. Pray the Lord will give them missionary hearts, not only to reach their own people with the gospel but also to reach other Berber groups and Arabs in their country.

Pray for p g

Please pray the Kabyle Berbers will become a mighty force in advancing the Church, the body of Christ, throughout North Africa.

Summary

People called Berbers are divided by subgroups based on language or region. The term Berber, placed on them during the Roman Empire, means “barbarians.” They prefer the term Imazighen meaning “free men” for they value freedom and independence. However, the term Berber is so well-engrained that people seldom know who they are without using this derogatory term. Berbers live primarily in the beautiful, wooded High Atlas and Middle Atlas Mountains of Central Morocco. All of the Berbers speak Tamazight; however, many also speak Arabic, Algeria's official language.

Obstacles

Only about one in a thousand bow the knee to Jesus Christ. With so few believers, Berbers need outsiders to bring the gospel.

Pray for p g

Pray for a spiritual hunger among Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for Berbers in Algeria to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for Berber disciples to make more disciples. Pray for loving workers to go to leaders and find persons of peace who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel.

Summary

Sahrawi refugees fled Western Sahara to neighboring Algeria after a Moroccan invasion followed the withdrawal of Spain, the colonial power, in 1975. They have largely had refugee status since that time, making the Sahrawi story virtually unknown in the English-speaking world. The Sahrawi are descendents of the original tribes in Western Sahara and Morocco.

Obstacles

The Sahrawi live in areas that are very difficult for outsiders to access, and they have few Christian neighbors.

How reach

Pray that Sahrawi believers will become effective and fruitful in sharing and discussing Bible stories with their own and other families.

Pray for church

There may be a few believers among the Sahrawi. Pray for them, and for the believers that will come later. Pray they will mature into real disciples of Jesus Christ, serving him with a whole heart.

Pray for p g

Pray the Sahrawi will soon be able to improve their living conditions, leaving the refugee camps for more favorable conditions.

Summary

Most Berbers refer to themselves as the Imazighen, which means "men of noble origin." Figigs are one of many Berber tribes. The Berbers are a North African people group that Arab Muslim invaders conquered in the 7th century. The name "Berber," derived from the Latin word "barbarian," was given to them by the Romans in the third century A.D. Today, the term "Berber" refers to any native speaker of one of the Berber languages. To this day, the various Berber tribes in North Africa coexist with their own distinct culture and the dominant Arabic culture. Berbers are generally bilingual, speaking both their Berber dialect and Arabic.

Obstacles

There are almost no Christ followers among the Figig Berbers. That means that they must hear the life-changing gospel from members of other language communities.

Pray for p g

Pray for Figig Berbers to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a movement to Christ. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Figig Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for workers to go to the Figigs and find people who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel of peace.

Summary

The term 'Bedu' in the Arabic language refers to one who lives out in the open, in the desert. In ancient times, most people settled near rivers but the Bedouin people preferred to live in the open desert. The Bedouins are seen as Arab culture's purest representatives and the Bedouins continue to be hailed by other Arabs as "ideal" Arabs, especially because of their rich oral poetic tradition, their herding lifestyle, and their traditional code of honor. Bedouins are distinct from other Arabs because of their extensive kinship networks, which provide them with community support and the basic necessities for survival. Only a few Bedouins live as their forefathers did in camel and goat hair tents, raising livestock, hunting and raiding. The first converts to Islam came from the Bedouin tribes and therefore (Sunni) Islam is embedded and deeply rooted in Bedouin culture.

Obstacles

Although there are resources available in their languages, the Bedouin have proved to be resistant to Christianity.

How reach

Pray for gospel radio to be widely available throughout the lands of the Bedouin. Pray for the funding needed for this and for excellent programming that will be acceptable to the Bedouins.

Pray for church

Few Dui-Menia Bedouin individuals know and follow Jesus at this time. Pray the Lord would be preparing teachers and pastors for those who will soon come to saving faith in Christ.

Pray for p g

Pray for pure drinking water for the Bedouin, for improved medical care and for employment opportunities.

Summary

The Tuareg are descended from Berbers in the region that is now Libya, and also from ancient Saharan peoples. Following the independence of African countries in the 1960s, Tuareg territory was artificially divided into modern nations: Niger, Mali, Algeria, Libya and Burkina Faso. The Tuareg adopted camel nomadism, along with its distinctive form of social organization, from camel-herding Arabs about two thousand years ago.

Obstacles

Algeria does not provide a welcome to Christian workers, as such. Innovative ideas for access are needed.

How reach

Pray for the few existing believers to become mature in the faith, and be given a heart to share the gospel message with their friends.

Pray for church

Pray for the few Christian believers among the Tuareg, that they would live exemplary lives and reveal the Lord's character through his Spirit.

Pray for p g

Pray for improved living conditions for the Tuareg, and for good schools for their children so they can be well prepared to live in the 21st century.

Summary

The Diaspora Han Chinese continue to live primarily in cities. In a number of countries, many of them are businessmen. Their businesses range from small shops to international corporations. In Algeria, many of the Chinese are involved with infrastructure projects such as building mosques, roads, libraries, museums, and an airport. The Chinese are also sometime construction workers, which causes strife with Algerians who need jobs.

Obstacles

The Chinese in Algeria work very long hours, so it will be difficult for them to find time to be in Bible studies and discipleship groups.

How reach

There are a few Chinese believers who can reach their own people in the workplace.

Pray for church

Pray for the small number of Chinese believers in Algeria to take the gospel to the Muslim people around them.

Pray for p g

Pray for peace between the Chinese minority and the Arab majority in Algeria. Pray for the few Chinese believers in Algeria to be salt and light to their countrymen as well as to the Muslims around them. Pray for a disciple-making movement to flourish among the Chinese in Algeria that will spread to the Algerian population.

Summary

The Ouargla are a Berber people who live in and around the oasis city of Ouargla in central Algeria, which has a major university as well as being a center of oil production. The Ouargla Berbers comprise less than 16 percent of the city's population and have their own unique language and culture that pre-dates the Islamic conquest of North Africa in 670-700.

Obstacles

The Ouargla are a small group. Like most Berbers, they are strongly influenced by Islamic beliefs, though their practices are generally relaxed.

How reach

Nearly all recent church growth in Algeria has occurred within the Berber communities of northern Algeria. Those who minister the gospel can accelerate their efforts for the Ouargla and other Berber tribes. This may be their time!

Pray for church

Pray that the churches would be led by faith to bless those around them with the fragrance of Christ. Pray that the believers would feel fulfilled and that they would spread the word to others close to them.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to move among the Ouargla in such a way that they spread Christ's ways of peace and mercy to other Berber tribes. Pray for a movement among the Ouargla this decade that will spread to other peoples in Algeria.

Summary

Bedouin society is organized according to a series of overlapping kin groups. The family is the smallest unit, followed by the clan, then the tribe. In the past, it was shameful for a Bedouin to accept a wage-paying job. Today, however, many have been forced by economic circumstances into full or part-time employment. To endure the extreme heat of the desert, the Bedouin wear lightweight, light-colored clothing. It is very loose-fitting, allowing for the circulation of air and freedom of movement. While most Bedouin are Sunni Muslims there is still a basic belief in spirits known as jinnis.

Obstacles

There is always spiritual opposition when Jesus Christ is presented to people. Pray for workers to be prepared for this.

How reach

There are a number of resources available in the language of the Algerian Bedouin, Gospel recordings and videos included. Pray for workers to take these resources to the people.

Pray for church

There are no known Christian believers among the Laguat Bedouin, but pray that even now God will be preparing their hearts. Pray they will be open and accepting of God's messengers when they come.

Pray for p g

Pray for adequate rainfall to support the livestock of the Bedouin, and, as needed, for employment opportunities.

Summary

The Sidi Bedouins of Algeria are almost all Sunni Muslims, but some are Sufis who seek a heart-felt response to Allah. Most also believe in spirits known as jinni. They don't marry outsiders, and their primary language is Arabic.

Obstacles

These are tribal people, suspicious of outside influences. Due to their unique language, culture, religious beliefs and their often-nomadic lifestyle, they are hard to reach.

How reach

There are a small number of believers among them who can disciple them. Outsiders can develop and distribute more social media and reading resources in their local language. Their Sufi beliefs might indicate that some are open to seeking a relationship with the Almighty, and Jesus can be the perfect bridge for such people.

Pray for p g

Pray for God to draw them to Jesus Christ, the only Savior. Pray they would have dreams and visions of the one true God. Pray that any Sidi or Sidi-affiliated believers would be strengthened by the Holy Spirit and receive divine strategies for reaching others until they have their own movement to Christ.

Summary

Since the Arab Conquest in the seventh century, the Ziban Bedouins have roamed the vast Saharan Desert of Algeria in small family clans. They are a strong nomadic people who know how to find water in the desert for their animals. They live in tents made from woven goat hair. Being Muslim, many maintain the daily ritual of praying five times a day. If they break the rules of their society each clan selects a sheik to determine whether or not they are guilty. If a person is found guilty, they use the laws of the Koran as their guide. They consider it to be below their dignity to be forced to live settled lives and become farmers. However, many Ziban are being forced to adapt to a more sedentary life, especially as their region becomes dryer.

Obstacles

Their nomadic life and strong sense of independence enhanced with their Islamic identity have made them unwilling to accept outside ideas.

How reach

Committed believers need to lovingly explain the life of Jesus to them in their Hassaniyya language, show them the JESUS Film and provide them with gospel recordings of the Bible.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Lord to send dreams to Ziban elders. Pray that leaders and individuals of the Ziban clans would be reached so they can lead their people to the Lord.

Summary

The Taznatit are one of many Berber groups, and they are renowned for their expertise in various crafts. Domestic tasks, such as weaving and pottery, were the primary work of women. The men specialize in woodworking, metalworking, and, more surprisingly, fine needlework. Regarding labor, the men do most of the farming, while the women are responsible for milking and gathering. The Berbers are a people group that Muslim invaders conquered in the 7th century. The name "Berber" was given to them by the ancient Romans and is derived from the Latin word "barbarian." Today, "Berber" refers to anyone who speaks one of the Berber languages, though most prefer to be called Imazighen, meaning "men of noble origin".

Obstacles

There are few, if any, Christ followers among the Taznatit Berbers, and almost everyone nearby is Muslim. Islamic thinking is not challenged in their part of the world.

Pray for p g

Pray for Taznatit Berbers to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a movement to Christ. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Taznatit Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave no matter what the cost. Pray for workers to go to Taznatits and find people who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel of peace.

Summary

The Hausa people are very influential in West Africa, both culturally and politically. They are the largest people group in that region. The Hausas have been heavily involved in long distance trading for many centuries. Traders exchanged gold from the Middle East for leather, crafts and food. The Hausa language is dominant in West Africa, where they are from. It must be an adjustment for those who live in Algeria to learn modern Arabic.

Obstacles

Hausa people identify with Sunni Islam as their religion, and as an essential part of their culture.

How reach

Perhaps other "outsiders" who are also from sub-Saharan Africa in Algeria can effectively reach the Hausa for Christ.

Pray for church

There are no Hausa believers in Algeria, so pray that the few who live in other parts of Africa will go to them.

Pray for p g

Ask the Lord to send long term laborers to live among the Hausa in Algeria and share the love of Christ with them. Ask God to strengthen, encourage and protect the small number of Muslim Hausa who have decided to follow Christ. Ask the Holy Spirit to open the hearts of the Hausa towards Jesus Christ as He is presented in the gospels. Ask the Lord to raise up strong local churches among the Hausa people in Nigeria and in Algeria.

Summary

Since the Sahara Desert is a harsh environment, most Saharan tribes like the Tougourt occupy several oases. While there are many similarities between the various Berber groups, their lifestyles and quality of life vary according to the region in which they live. The Tougourt Berbers are often noted for their skills in various crafts. Domestic tasks such as weaving and pottery are the main work of women. The men specialize in woodworking, metalworking, and, more surprisingly, fine needlework. Regarding labor, the men do most of the farming, while the women are responsible for milking and gathering. Tougourt Berber societies can be divided into three primary units: the community, the district, and the tribe. Berbers are more likely to challenge the Islamic system than Arabs. Some have accepted the Lord, along with other Berber communities. These people can go to the Tougourt.

Obstacles

Without a single Christian follower, the Tougourt Berbers must hear the gospel from outsiders.

Pray for p g

Pray for Tougourt Berbers to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a community-wide movement to Christ. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Tougourt Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for workers to go to the Tougourt and find persons of peace who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel of peace.

Summary

The Southern Shilha Berbers are one of many Berbers groups. The Berbers are a North African people group who were conquered by Muslim invaders in the seventh century. The name Berber, which is derived from the Latin word "barbarian," was given to them by the Romans in the third century A.D. Today, the term 'Berber' refers to any native speaker of one of the Berber languages. The Shilha speak Tachelhit, which is divided into three dialects. The Southern Shilha don't really value education because they believe that hard work is of higher value. Only a small number complete more than a few years of public schooling. In rural areas, however, many male children attend Islamic schools where they are taught the Koran.

Obstacles

There is very little gospel witness in rural Algeria. Islamic thinking is unchallenged, not only by the Southern Shilha Berbers, but by all other peoples in their area.

How reach

Berbers often view Islam as an “Arab” religion, so they are not as committed to it as their Arab neighbors. There have been breakthroughs among other Berber peoples.

Pray for p g

Pray for Southern Shilha Berbers to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a Disciple Making Movement. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Southern Shilha Berbers that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for loving workers to go to the Southern Shilha and find persons of peace who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel.

Summary

The Idaksahak ("Sons of Isaac") of Africa were formerly herders for Tuareg nobles. In return, the Tuareg protected the Idaksahak. Some Idaksahak migrated to sub-Saharan Africa between the eighth and ninth centuries and they were among the first Muslim groups in the area. Some experts consider the Idaksashak to be a Tuareg clan. Today, many Idaksahak are engaged in agriculture and live in one place. The frequent droughts of their Sahel desert homeland are a serious danger to Idaksahak herders and farmers. The vast majority of the Idaksahak live in Mali, while a much smaller group live in Algeria.

Obstacles

The Idaksahak have been Sunni Muslims are for over 1,000 years. Being Muslim is a part of their personal and group identity. There are few, if any, Idaksahak followers of Jesus, so they need to hear from those outside their community.

How reach

The JESUS Film is available in Tuareg. Most Idaksahak men speak Tuareg.

Pray for p g

Pray for an intense spiritual hunger among the Idaksahak people that will lead to many coming to Christ. Pray for loving believers to go to the Idaksahak and tell them of their Savior. Pray for the Lord to provide the Idaksahak people with adequate rainfall as an example of His goodness to all. Ask the Lord to raise up a growing church among the Idaksahak in this decade.

Summary

How would you like to live in a place that is near two international borders? That is the situation for the Belbali, a West African people who are located in the oasis of Tabelbala and nearby town Tindouf in southwestern Algeria. Recently their area has been built up significantly because it is a last outpost before the Moroccan, Saharawi and Mauritanian borders, and there has been a large influx of refugees from the Western Sahara. The area is very fertile, so agriculture is common. Surrounded by sand dunes, the water table is high, which supports agricultural efforts. Temperatures run very high in their homeland, reaching 50˚ C (122˚ F), and there are frequent sandstorms. The language of these people is Korandje, which is becoming endangered because Belbali parents favor Arabic for their children to have better education and career prospects.

Obstacles

This is a traditional, close-knit culture whose primary religion is Islam. They are resistant to outside influences.

How reach

The gospel can be spread through media such as film, radio, TV, etc.

Pray for p g

Pray for God's original intent for the land of Algeria and her people! Pray for God to draw the Belbali people to Him, leading to a powerful movement to Christ this decade. Pray for a new spiritual openness to spring up, especially as parents encourage their children to seek outside opportunities.

Summary

The Tidikelt Berber are one of many groups of Berbers in North Africa. In the 7th century, Muslim invaders conquered the Berbers and introduced Islam. Berbers are generally bilingual, speaking both their Berber dialect and Arabic. The Tidikelt and other Berber tribes have sustained and preserved their own culture, customs, and social organization in addition to their dialect. For the Berbers, life revolves around important ceremonies such as births, marriages, and deaths. Their male-dominated society maintains pre-Islamic cultural and ritual traditions. Berbers are more likely to accept Christ than Arabs, who hold Islam as a central part of their identity.

Obstacles

The Tidikelt live in Algeria, a solidly Muslim country, where very few are willing to look outside Islam for spiritual answers.

Pray for p g

Pray for the Tidikelt to put their faith and hope in Christ, paving the way for a movement to Christ. Pray for a spiritual hunger among Tidikelt that will lead them to the cross and the empty grave. Pray for workers to go to the Tidikelt and find persons of peace who will welcome them into their communities with the gospel.
