Shihuh, Al-Shihuh of Oman
The Shihuh
are fishermen and herdsmen and are probably descended from the original
inhabitants of northern Oman, pushed into the mountains by successive
Muslim and Portuguese invasions. The land in which they live is rocky
and arid, with very little vegetation. Their stone houses are called
bayt al qufl, which means "cave house", since they are partly
underground. Until about the early 1970s, the tribe was isolated from
the outside world. They did not trust outsiders, and it was common for
visitors at that time to have stones thrown at them by tribesmen.
Nowadays, the Shihu are no longer hostile to outsiders, but neither are
they particularly friendly.
Ministry Obstacles
Much of the region is not hospitable to Christian outreach.
Outreach Ideas
Much sustained prayer is needed to prepare hearts, and to create desire to search for the peace found in Christ.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for the entire people groupThere are no known Christian believers among this people at this time. Pray for hearts to begin to hunger for the forgiveness of sin found only in trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Pray for sufficient rainfall to provide for livestock, and to grow grain needed for food. Scripture Focus "And those who lead many to righteousness [will shine] like the stars for ever and ever." Daniel 12:3 |
