The term “Moor” is generally applied to any person, regardless of skin color, who speaks one of the Hassaniyya dialects. The Moors are very proud people, conveying a sense of superiority to others in Mauritania. They faithfully follow the teachings of the Koran, and they believe these teachings come directly from above.

The Hassaniyya language only has limited biblical materials. It is hard for Muslims to accept the idea that they need a savior who is free from sin. They believe they can be in right standing with Allah by obeying the Koran.

Pray for individuals within the Moorish community to become spiritually prepared for the gospel when they initially hear it.
Pray for a rapid expansion of Christ's Kingdom among the Moors in Mauritania.
Pray also that the few believers among the Moors may be of the same mind, being one in spirit and purpose, looking not only to their own interests but also to the interests of others.
Pray for Moorish believers to become effective and fruitful in sowing God's word among their own families and communities to fuel a movement of God's blessings, spreading from household to household.
