Tuareg of the Sahara Desert

(TWAR-eg) – Even if you didn’t know anything about the calendar, you’d know something was happening. Between the advertisements on the television, on the radio, in emails, and online, as well as the decorations in virtually every store over at least the past month (if not the past two or three months), it’s abundantly clear that there’s a holiday season fast approaching. If you somehow escaped the commercial side of it, you’d probably have an idea of something based on the parties and gatherings and possibly because children are soon to be out of school. While you’re likely inundated with holiday music, food, parties, and decorations, no such thing will happen for the Tuareg. For those who live in cities, their children may get a brief break from school, but other than that and the cooler outdoor temperatures, there’s really nothing to separate this time of year from the rest. As you are overwhelmed with additional responsibilities or “holiday season overload,” please remember to pray for the Tuareg. Ask that they, too, will have the privilege to celebrate. Pray that they will have the opportunity to hear and receive the good news that Jesus came so that they might live with the Father.
