Emerald People of the Horn of Africa

Maruf is a man from the Emerald People who helps run a small business. He has had some spiritual conversations with a believer and has seemed fairly open. He chews “khat” (a narcotic leaf), so he is not always mentally available when that believer tries to follow up with him. Many Emerald People are similar to Maruf. They are difficult to get to know. They might work during the day and chew “khat” in the afternoon and evening. Their houses are sometimes far away from the city, and they are not quick to invite strangers inside their homes. Please pray for wisdom as believers seek to get to know more Emerald People. Ask God to provide opportunities for deep relationships so that these people will know that they are seen and loved. Pray that through these relationships, there will be many chances to share the gospel. Pray that many Emerald People will come to know Jesus.
