(BED-oo-in) – As a group, the Bedouin of Libya are rooted in Islam, but for many individuals, Islam seems distant. It’s a part of everyday life in that they follow the rituals that have become a part of their culture, but many don’t view it as a part of their personal lives. When it comes time to make a decision about where to take the herds to graze, how many animals need to be sold to make it through the lean season, or any number of choices that are big decisions made on a regular basis, the Bedouin do not turn to Islam. Instead, they look to spirits to guide them. They believe that these spirits are more personal than their formal and distant god. Please pray that as the Bedouin seek out guidance from spirits, they will have dreams and visions about the one true God who wants to be a part of all aspects of their lives. May they come to know Jesus as Savior and receive the Holy Spirit to guide them in every step of their days.
