Introduction

The name Berber comes from an Arabic name for the aboriginal people west and south of Egypt. Contrary to the romantic, popular image that portrays Berbers as nomadic people who cross the desert on camels, their main activity is sedentary agriculture. Nowadays, besides the traditional means of living, there is a new element which is part of the economy of Berber families, namely income from the large number of immigrants in Europe, especially in France. Gospel radio and recordings, and the JESUS Film are available in the language of the Berbers. Literature and Scripture are often made available on the docks of southern Europe as these people who work in Europe go home for holidays.

Ministry Obstacles

Morocco is closed to gospel workers. Someone will need to use creative approaches to ministering to the Berbers.

Outreach Ideas

Pray for the Followers of Christ

Pray for the Entire People Group

Ask the Lord to multiply the reception and influence of his word among the Warain Berbers, to lead them to love him with their whole being.
Pray that the Berbers, mainly Christian before the 7th century, will once again know and follow Christ as savior.
Since there are few, if any, believers among the Warain Berbers at present, ask God for miraculous aid to help them become believers.
Ask God to give them a hunger for Christ to dwell in their hearts through faith.
