Guhayna of Sudan

 
Guhayna of Sudan
The single thread of a common culture binds these Sudanese Arabs with other Arabs from around the world. Aspects of pure Arab life, such as rigid codes of honor, loyalty, and hospitality, have remained strong in Sudanese Arab culture. The role of men in Sudanese Arab society, as in all other Arabic cultures, is extremely important. Children, and especially male children, are highly valued. Women are in a subservient position but are more liberal and dress more freely than many of their counterparts around the world. The historical link between Arabs and the Muslim religion is strong. There are few Sudanese Arab Christians; conversion from Islam to Christianity is not well-accepted and often comes with severe consequences.
Ministry Obstacles
While there have been Christian workers in Sudan for many years, most concentrate on reaching the southern Sudanese and neglect the country's Muslim majority.
Outreach Ideas
There a number of gospel resources in their language. Pray there will be opportunities to use these tools effectively.
Pray for the followers of Christ
There are probably a few followers of Christ among the Guhayna people, but very few. Please pray for these people and the others whom the Lord will soon draw to himself. Pray they will live holy lives and will be joyful always, praying continually, and giving thanks to the Lord in all circumstances.
Pray for the entire people group
Please pray for adequate rainfall for the crops and livestock of the Guhayna Arabs, and for pure drinking water for themselves.
