Moroccan Arab in Morocco


Moroccan Arab in Morocco

In 670, Umayyads of Damascus completed the first Islamic conquest of the North African coastal plain, settling in what is now Morocco. Since then, Arabs have ruled this region, which includes the original Berber tribal groups of North Africa, some of whom were Christians before the Arab invasion. This cultural mix resulted in scholarly advances in science, mathematics, astronomy, geography and medicine.

Ministry Obstacles

Although Morocco allows people from other faiths to have religious freedom, the king of Morocco has declared that all native Moroccans are Sunni Muslims. Historically, ministry in Morocco drew individuals away from their families and gathered them into new churches. As a result, many view Christianity as a threat to their families and communities.

Outreach Ideas

Scripture Focus

"Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword and with a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.""  1 Samuel 17:45

Scripture Prayer

Pray that the nations will know that they cannot defy the Lord.

Prayer Focus

Pray the Holy Spirit would work powerfully through the many people witnessing to the Moroccan Arabs. Pray Moroccan Arab believers would become effective and fruitful in sowing God's word among their families and communities to fuel a movement of God's blessing, spreading from household to household. Pray a strong movement to Jesus would bring whole Moroccan Arab families and communities into a rich experience of God's blessing.
