Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples

The Druze originally came from a branch of Shia Islam but aren’t considered Muslims by some. Though monotheistic, they include reincarnation, a few Eastern religious ideas, and many secrets in their religion. One cannot convert to the Druze religion; instead, one must be born into a Druze family from two Druze parents to be a Druze. If a Druze young person marries someone outside of the religion, their child will not be Druze. Most Druze live in the Levant, with the smallest group being the 24,000 living in Jordan. They look like other Jordanians unless they dress in their traditional clothing, which has a more Turkish look. They speak Arabic, and the Arabic-language Bible is easily available in Jordan for them to purchase. Pray that the Druze of Jordan will read it and discuss it with believers in Jesus whom they meet. Pray that they will embrace the simplicity of the gospel, available to all. Pray that whole families of Druze of Jordan will accept this wonderful message!
