Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples

Gibraltar is a unique peninsula territory in the Mediterranean recognized mostly for its iconic Rock of Gibraltar. It’s unique because the land is connected to Spain, governed by the United Kingdom, and originally conquered and named by Morocco. Each of these countries have shaped the face of the culture on “The Rock.” Moroccan Arabs came over initially as migrant workers in the late 1960s and have grown to a population of 1,700. Although surrounded by British and Spanish Christian influences, the Moroccans living in Gibraltar are unengaged with the saving truth of the gospel. They mainly speak Moroccan Arabic but often speak Spanish and English, also. Give thanks to God that biblical resources are available in each of those languages! Pray for the Moroccan Arabs of Gibraltar to encounter the Living Word in their language and experience the true Rock and Redeemer, Jesus. Pray for them not to rely on their own religious deeds, but instead follow the true path of salvation: the sacrifice of Jesus. Ask for them to connect with believers and see how the salvation of Jesus transforms lives. Pray that they will receive God’s free gift of salvation.
