(am-uh-ZEEGH) – Merely mentioning its name stirs up images and feelings in those who hear it even if they don’t know much about it. Sahara, the largest “hot desert” in the world, actually contains several smaller deserts within its massive territory. This vast, dry terrain is marked by dunes, mountains, rocks, small shrubs, and only the heartiest of animals and people. Its inhospitable nature is largely responsible for the lack of sustained outside influence in the area. The people within it are much like the desert itself: tough, rugged, and full of an almost indescribable charm. They survive by making the most of the little resources available to them. The Amazigh of Libya live either in the mountains or close to the one part of the desert that really stands out: the oases. Some believe the oases to be the source of life in the desert. Just as the Amazigh live in a dry and barren land, their spiritual lives are also predominately dry and barren. Pray that just like the Amazigh of Libya recognize their dependence upon the oases, they will hear about and immediately recognize their need to rely upon the Living Water to bring them true life.
