Pray for the Levantine Bedawi Arabs of Syria
Levantine Bedawi Arabs of Syria
POPULATION: 81,000
RELIGION: Sunni Islam
Syria, a country in western Asia, has fertile plains, high mountains, and deserts. It is home to diverse ethnic and religious groups, including the Levantine Bedawi Arabs.
Typically, they live a classic Bedouin lifestyle as nomadic shepherds. They live a relatively harsh lifestyle, having no permanent home but living in portable tents they can move around as needed for their herd. Camels are their primary means of transportation with sheep and goats being used for trade.
The overwhelming majority of the Levantine Bedawi Arabs are Sunni Muslims. According to Islamic law, a Muslim who professes faith in Jesus Christ could be put to death.
Pray for believers to get to this area and have encounters with the Levantine peoples that will allow them opportunity to share gospel with them, and that their hearts will be receptive to the Word, and that many will be saved.
