Arab, Tunisian in Tunisia
In the first few centuries after Christ, a strong
church was established in present-day Tunisia despite intense
persecution from the Romans. Disunity, factions, and a failure to
translate the Bible into the local languages weakened the church. When
Arab invaders arrived in the 7th century an empty shell of a church was
all that existed. Islam spread rapidly and the Christian roots of the
people were forgotten.Ministry Obstacles Few Tunisians are aware of their Christian heritage. They equate Christianity with Westerners and Western culture and do not view it as an option for themselves. They have been conditioned from birth to believe teachings that oppose the Bible and their cultural surroundings prevent them from considering anything different. Outreach Ideas Christian media (websites, TV, and radio programs) has generated a great interest in Jesus. Facebook, YouTube, and other websites are rising in popularity. Pray for creative ways to present the Gospel using these means. Pray for the followers of Christ Tunisians risk losing their jobs, losing their place in society, and pressure from the authorities when they become Christian. Many of them live far from any other Christians and have no opportunity for fellowship and discipleship. Pray that Tunisian Christians would be impassioned to reach their own people, sharing a clear, succinct, and reproducible Gospel presentation. Pray for the entire people group Pray for the Arabs to become aware of their spiritual bankruptcy before God. Pray that Jesus would use dreams and visions to open their eyes and to show them that He is the only way to God. Scripture Focus "Nothing can hinder the Lord from saving whether by many or by few." 1 Samuel 14:6 |
