Berber, Atta in Morocco
Rather than calling themselves "Berbers," they refer
to themselves by the name of their particular subgroup. Berbers also use
the overarching term "Imazighen." The arrival of Arabs in Morocco in
the seventh century resulted in the gradual conversion of some Berbers
to Islam. It was not until the thirteenth century, however, with the
arrival of large numbers of Arabs from the Middle East, that the
majority of Berbers accepted Islam, learned the Arabic language, and
were assimilated into Arab culture.Ministry Obstacles
Morocco does not provide easy access for Christian influence.
Outreach Ideas
Gospel radio and television beamed to North Africa is very helpful. Materials distributed to North Africans on the docks of southern Europe find its way into the hands of many Berbers.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Pray for those who are beginning to find Christ among the Berber communities, that the Lord will protect and nurture their faith, and that they will find each other in order to fellowship and grow together. Pray they will be rooted and established in love.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray the Berbers of Morocco will have access to the good news of Jesus in many forms, hearing clearly who He is, in their mother tongue.
Scripture Focus
"All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." Matthew 25:32
