(BEE-ja) – Some Beja live near cities or towns where God’s Church has existed, in some cases, for hundreds of years. However, the Church there is small; its numbers are few. It’s definitely the minority population in the area and is made up of people from different tribes other than the Beja. Many of these believers have a Christian heritage and, therefore, a Christian worldview. They most likely speak a different dialect or language than the Beja. But many also have hearts that desire to share the Good News. Pray for these ethnic Christians who are true believers. They are often threatened to stay in their place — behind the literal walls of the church compound. These are legitimate fears. They very well could be put in prison or worse for sharing. At the same time, it’s an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to work through them to get to know their Beja neighbors and share with them — to see Him work in both the hearts of the believers, strengthening their faith, and in those who hear the gospel, so that they might receive it with joy. Pray Acts 4:31 (CSB), asking that these brothers and sisters will “speak the word of God boldly.”
