Malta is a unique archipelago country found in the Mediterranean Sea. It has an interesting mixture of various cultures and was heavily influenced in many ways, primarily through language and agriculture, by the Arab world. Malta was part of the Arab-ruled world from the ninth century to the 11th century. During that time, Arabs introduced the islands to advanced agricultural techniques that led to much growth and prosperity. It became a trading hub, thus solidifying Malta’s status and importance in the Mediterranean. Today, approximately 9,800 Arab people live in Malta. Although the culture around them shows evidence of Christianity and Jesus, they remain unengaged and unreached with the gospel. Pray for the Spirit to work in the hearts of the Arab people of Malta and prepare them to receive the seed, the Word of God, and produce much fruit. Pray for good soil among the Arabs of Malta to hear the word and understand it and be ready to believe and follow Jesus (Matthew 13:8, 23). Pray that believers living around them will be faithful to sow the seed and share the salvation they have in Jesus, leading to much fruit for the glory of God.
