Moor of Mauritania

Moor of Mauritania
The Moors are very proud people, conveying a sense of superiority to others in the area. Within their society, the Koran is faithfully followed. The term "Moor" is generally applied to any person, regardless of skin color, who speaks one of the Hassaniya dialects.

Ministry Obstacles
Scripture is not available in the language of the Moor, and access to the Moor is limited.

Outreach Ideas
The Jesus film and Gospel recordings are available. Pray for workers and for access.

Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for the relatively few believers among the Moor, that they may be like-minded, being one in spirit and purpose, looking not only to their own interests but also to the interests of others.

Pray for the entire people group
Pray each individual in the Moor community may be prepared for the Gospel message when it comes to them.
