The population of Somali people in Canada grew significantly in the late 1980s due to civil war, instability, and violence in their home country. Many were seeking refuge and a stable environment, and Canada provided both in a new home for them. The Somali community continues to grow in Canada, numbering approximately 66,500 today, with the largest group found in Toronto, Ontario. They are still seeking ways to assimilate into the Canadian culture, such as learning the language and finding jobs, and several organizations are set up specifically to aid Somalis. Among all the ways that they are being helped, they are, unfortunately, not being engaged with the life-changing gospel of Jesus. Most Somalis are Muslim and follow the religion of Islam. Give thanks to God for providing the Somali people with a safe place to live in Canada! Pray for open minds and curiosity among the Somali Muslims in Canada to seek the truth of God. Ask God to give them dreams and visions that lead them to the Savior. Pray that local Christians will have eyes to see the Somali people and boldly engage them in conversations about the Bible and how to truly know and follow God through Jesus.
