Tuareg, Hoggar in Algeria

Tuareg, Hoggar in Algeria The Hoggar Tamachek are one of the Tuareg groups of Algeria. In direct contrast to Arab custom, the Tuareg men, rather than women, often wear veils. To show respect, the men always cover their mouths, noses, and foreheads in the presence of foreigners and their in-laws. They primarily live in small nomadic groups, and have traditionally been shepherds. Ministry Obstacles Algeria is not generally open to Christian workers. Access to these people is difficult. Outreach Ideas Christian radio and television can carry the good news of the Gospel to these people. Pray for the followers of Christ There may be no Christian believers among the Tamachek today, but pray for those who will soon emerge. Pray they will accurately understand the Gospel of grace offered through faith in Jesus Christ, and will place their faith fully in Christ and his finished work on the cross. Pray for the entire people group Pray for improved living conditions for these people, that they will have adequate health care, good schools for their children, and comfortable housing.
