Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples

Located in northern Africa, Algeria is the largest country on the continent of Africa. The Sahara desert makes up more than four-fifths of that nation’s land, which is why most Algerians live along the Mediterranean Sea on the northern coast. Many Algerians emigrate across the sea to European countries, seeking a new life with new opportunities. Spain is one of many costal landing spots for Algerians. There are about 66,500 Algerian Arabs in Spain. A majority of these are Muslim and follow the teachings of the Quran. They seek a new life in a new country, but they desperately need a new life born of the Spirit through Jesus. As Algerian Arabs in Spain consider God and spiritual matters, pray that they will “set [their] minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth” (Colossians 3:2 ESV). Pray that they will receive the Word of God and commit their ways to Him. Ask that they will come to know Jesus, put their trust in Him, and join in praising Him among the nations. Pray for bold believers, both Algerian and other nationalities, to engage these Algerian Arabs in Spain and proclaim the Son, leading many to redemption.
