Northern African and Middle Eastern Unengaged Peoples

Since the discovery of oil, the nations have come to the United Arab Emirates (UAE), seeking employment. One of those ethnicities are the 80,500 Sudanese Arabs. Some have lived there for generations, while others have only recently arrived. Their lifestyle is determined by their wealth, education, and skill set. The educated Sudanese Arabs have developed profitable businesses or work in local industries and live comfortably. Those who are less educated find whatever job they can, live minimally, and commonly send most of their paycheck back to family in Sudan. Most Sudanese Arabs claim to be Sunni Muslims. Although the UAE is strongly a Muslim land, there are believers of many nationalities living and working there. Pray for Sudanese Arabs to become dissatisfied with their current beliefs and desire a secure relationship with God. Pray for them to meet Jesus followers at work, at the store, or in parks. Pray for them to discover gospel radio programs and websites in their language. May they come to the knowledge of Christ and believe.
