Pray for the Unreached: The Moroccan Arabs, descended from 7th-century Arab invaders, have intermarried with native Berber tribes, who now make up 30-50% of Morocco's population. While Berbers retain their own languages, Arab culture dominates politics, industry, and lowland agriculture, with Berbers occupying the mountainous regions. Morocco enforces anti-conversion laws, and Moroccan Arabic (Darija) is rarely used for reading, despite the availability of the New Testament in this dialect. With less than 0.1% of Moroccan Arabs identifying as Christians, 490 workers are needed to reach them. Pray for the seeds of faith sown by past believers to grow and lead Moroccan families to seek Jesus through His Word. Ask God to grant Morocco’s leaders wisdom to govern justly and allow freedom of faith. Pray for boldness among Moroccan believers to share Jesus’ love, resulting in multiplying fellowships among Arabs and Berbers.
